- Takin' Over - Ralph Robles, 3:03
Rough treatment for the video: tying in with the idea of people in costumes doing silly things this would be great. The latin theme could induce behavious such as monkeys shaking their bums and tums in funny latino skirts. 'The land of boogaloo' deffo ties in with the madness and animalness that would be invoked. Great breaks in the music for dance routines, loads of different instruments, no vocals.
- Freakshow - Krafty Kuts, 4:12
Rough Treatment for the video: again could tie in with the themes we have, probably too techno. Freaks. Nina can have angels devils fat people and dwarfs!
- Bass Phenomenon - Krafty Kuts, 4:03
Really deep voice saying 'Bass phenomenon' will be wicked to completely juxtapose with a skinny white boy or a moneky or whatever. The fast pace is great for narrative, especially for a chase, with people jumping on cars, hidhing behind walls, escaping from starsky and hutch-type characters.
- Brown Boxes - The Spinto Band, 2:28
About a guy leaving behind all the commotion at his house as he's breaking up with his girlfriend. To make this quirky there are a series of ideas we could pick from: the guy's being kicked out because he's different because he's a monkey and no one else is. OR it could be based around a kind of Goldilocks-style story, where the couple (dressed as bears) are arguing over porridge or something silly and he leaves and he's really cute and fluffy (the music is quite nursery-rhyme-ish). AND I had the idea of funny creatures coming out of the boxes doing silly things. AND we can esily include the band playing funny instruments weirdly in the background. A definate narrative idea.
- Convenience - BOB, 3:33
Great if we wanted to do a happy, cute video with a boy singing about the girl he likes as she goes about on her motorbike, lots of shots of her hair flowing, her smiling lots, lots of slow mo, her dancing around in cute dresses.
- Love is the only law - Pondlife, 3:19
Not really the right song but ska is a good genre we could work from, very lively lots of instruments.
- Skinny Girls - The Fratellis, 2:18
The set up of a perfect narrative - a guy wakes up with three girls in his room. The girls are very weird, superficial, cabaret-type characters who wear loads of make-up and mad dresses, highly attractive. In comparison, we have this guy who could be a monkey or a complete geek or something and he's really shocked as they drag him around, feed him cornflakes and beer, dress him up, take him to a party (someone dancing stupidly in a club in a costume!). We can definately include the rest of the band: they could just be dotted around in different shots randomly, like in the background pretending to be tramps or something, like the E4 men who are just really funny. And they could be animals too. This track is really fast-paced, so needs to have loads of energy and attack with potential for extremely impressive cinematography and editing skills.
- Oh Pretty Woman, Roy Orbison, 2:58
The video would be about a guy or a group trying to woo a woman. Plenty of scopography, intimate shots panning up the sexy woman's legs etc. Their attempts could failing a lot, plenty of them trying to serenade her. Wouldn't really fit with what we want to do, too slow and cheesy probably. But its pretty amazing this song doesn't already have a video!
