Now That's Class
Posted by Mr Drayton on 8 May 2008 - 8:33am.
I was watching some dumb ass breakfast telly this morning. Tiao Cruz's new video was on. It's the usual R'n'B fare - but it it's very classy. How do I know? It features violinists, and, to raise it's class ratio - a lady drummer (who looked as though it was the first time drums and her had met).
In the top ten video cliches, the string section must rate pretty highly, after the winsome look, the hand trailing across water and the booty shake - got any other video cliché suggestions?

The stripped-room set
No furniture, just a designer-messy jumble of guitar leads snaking across the bare floorboards. Stationary camera so the room stays put but edited with jump cuts of the band members moving around in it. At one point the singer will stick his mug right in the camera so we can see his fillings.
Haven't seen that one for at least, ooh, half an hour.
Dove
A white dove flying in slo-mo. If launched from the hands of a fair maiden, all the better.
Koyaanisqatsi klouds
Playing in the desert. Also
Playing in the desert.
Also 'aving a larf on tour or in the studio etc,(presumably to show they're just normal blokes like us).
Oh yeah and anything thats meant to convey how lonely/tough it is at the top.
