And now for something completely different...After all the drama and high cinematic art of the (still pre-release) "Leeds United" and "Last Words" videos, me and the gang wanted to cut loose and do something silly and irresponsible. Luckily, Manda Rin, quite literally one of the nicest people I have ever met, hearts the silly and wholeheartedly embraced the idea of a cheeky, J-pop-style innuendo-fest with VERY. BRIGHT. COLOURS. Hope you will too. Warning: this video has no redeeming social or cultural value and will not advance the art of the music video one iota; it is pure, delicious, disposable POP.
Please be so kind as to click through to Radar's Youtube site and rate/comment on the video if you have a moment; this is quite important in the internet popularity contest that is the Youtube ratings system. The better Radar commissions do in terms of views, the more likely commissioners are to entrust us with more and higher-value commissions. Also, if you have a decent connection, clicking through enables you to "watch in high quality" (link at the bottom right of video) - the resolution improvement is really significant.
This video's production was not without its dramas; I'll be writing about them (and how we overcame them) plus sharing my winning pitch with you over the next few days.
matei, if you are having problems please email me as requested with details/screenshots. Any further discussion on this please continue off site caroline@radarmusicvideos.com
nay, im good now.
if its not user friendly enough for me to post pictures and stuff in my radar blog, why bother sticking around here, when i've got dearest antville?
besides, on antville html works, even with me.
'When Collie Bud come around,/ A pure ganja man tune,/ Just a lick from the sound, yeah,/ Finally the herbs come around'
think it works really great with the song, lovely bubble gum infectiousness.
Front paged here on Radar and fingers firmly crossed for some other key sites too.
Meanwhile, a quick note to anyone having any kind of problem on site, as emailed to Matei, please contact us direct, including as much detail as possible about your problem. We get back to everybody and the great majority of issues are resolved well within 24 hours.
Hey, surprised to see it up!
Congrats Alex!
Not my thing either, but it DOES look very J-Pop, so that's good I suppose.
Fits the song.
All the best!

Ugh, that's frustrating. Maybe the internet hates Romania?

thanks
but the thing is i know how to html encode, but it wont work
fuck it anyway
'When Collie Bud come around,/ A pure ganja man tune,/ Just a lick from the sound, yeah,/ Finally the herbs come around'
there's actually a place at very bottom of post that lets you add videos (I think it's new)
but the rest is html coding
For a pic, do this (replacing [OPEN] with < and [CLOSE] with > symbol): [OPEN]img src="http://www.WEBSITE.com/PICTURE.jpg"[CLOSE] - so you have to have the pic already up on flickr or a website don't forget the quote marks around the picture link!
For a link, it's this: [OPEN]a href="http://www.LINK.com"[CLOSE]here's the text for the link[OPEN]/a[CLOSE] (make sure you add the end /a bit - again with < > on either side)
So the Dragonette link I did went like this: [OPEN]a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31jBXik9AoQ"[CLOSE]Dragonette Take It Like A Man[OPEN]/a[CLOSE]

how do you post pics and links in your posts?
i cant do it
as regards video, what i understand by pop is bright colors indeed, but also all sorts of flashy shit, not only basic colors in the background, because it instantly makes me think of low production value
but i get your point
'When Collie Bud come around,/ A pure ganja man tune,/ Just a lick from the sound, yeah,/ Finally the herbs come around'
Haha, that means I succeeded with my objective, which was to make something very cheeky but also remaining very innocent and G-rated. A really edgy, kinky video wouldn't have suited the singer's personality or fanbase... this is meant to be bubblegum J-pop.
(You've seen the Dragonette "Take It Like A Man" video? That's probably not kink enough for you either, but I do like it a lot.)

some kind of kink, but not enapf for my taste.
it's more like a stripped down version of a pop promo.
