The production of the video is awesome but the kaleidoscope vs damage hits(crackle?) is getting too cliché for me. Ok, this one was very professional and all that, which of course is excellent but I'd like to see something fresch.
The frontpage is awesome though.. the trees in the background are mirrored while the people in the front aren't.
i agree with aesthetics...its like like degrade some pictures form childhood, throw a kaleidascope in there with a hexagon and your now the brothers sandison
even though the kaleidascope thing is a bit overdone, this is the best use of it i've seen so far. it's like the geogaddi postcards coming to life. gorgeous.

Have you made any? If not, then respect the effort of the people who has put down some work on those crappy videos.
Just because this one is hi-res and has the Super 8 kaleidoscopic child movies that everybody expected from the Dayvan Cowboy video, it doesn't make it a work of art. It's very nice and well done but kind of a cliché too. Not really creative.
Despite the fact that the video has your typical BOC cliches throughout the entire length of the piece, I still found it to be the closes thing to a real BOC video along side the "invocation" piece they put out earlier this year.
There are hundreds of BOC videos all over the net, but this struck a cord with me. My girlfriend watched it and said, "someone finally got it right'

Yeah, I hear ya on that. I did one like that too and after I looked at it, it's like yup I was trying to make it look like something boards would have done like 4 years ago. I think when BoC did the Dayvan video they wanted to throw in the whole surfing thing in to get away from a typical idea they would have had for a video, they wanted to let the fans do that, haha (i dont know). Just cause the music makes you feel like you did when you were a kid doesn't mean they need kids at birthday parties picking their nose eating corn chips in the video. But this IS the best one I have seen so far! Very nice indeed!
