Kodes100 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Well that is actually pretty impressive, I agree. But I still loathe the video. Yes, I actually loathe it now. "Loathe!" Wow! That is pretty strong & interesting as it is having mass appeal already! Hmmm? You guys here that don't like it & "loathe" it have me really curious now.

You guys here that don't like it & "loathe" it have me really curious now. When something bugs me, it's not a little bug that I can shrug off. It's a huge bug that's trying to eat me alive and I'm wrestling with it. It practically consumes me. Lemme copy and paste something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 lol like I said, I think the concept is done now. It's just doing it We need to come up with a scene by scene plan. That's the hardest part, getting it all planned. Shooting it's easy peasy lemon squeezy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodes100 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Mika has just announce at MikaSounds on twitter that the anme of the North American Tour is 1955! The BIOTG Vid fits in more & more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 And and and did you see his tweet about the theme being 1955 for the shows? VINTAGE!!!! That's the year my mum was born actually, so technically, it's not vintage, it's ancient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazGirl Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Honestly Sienna, this dancing is so simple. They're even doing SPRING BALLCHANGES, that's what 4 years olds do when learning their primary steps. Seriously. This dance is so easy it shouldn't be hard to perfect at all. And maybe they are good dancers, but it doesn't come to light with this choreography. Honestly, why on Earth would you mix Fosse type moves with 1960's rave? Seriously! It...just shouldn't happen. And I agree that sometimes it doesn't *need* to look professional to look good, but when you're doing a music video you do kinda mean business, y'know? And it depends on the type of dance. This is quite a...well, I don't want to say technical because it's not difficult in the slightest, but it's just full of little moves. It COULD be technical and SHOULD have been. The only thing I can compare it to is Kyle Minogue's dancing in "I Just Can't Get You Outta My Head." at 1:40 THAT's technical. THAT'S professional. THAT'S what it should have looked like and it just ended up looking like some sort of bad-try-too-hard-dance school. It should have been about the small technical stuff, sharp movements, clean cut moves, patterns and slick timing. The dancing in BIOTG just wasn't slick. In my opinion Well if Mika's happy with it, then he's happy with it. And there are plenty of fans happy with it too. I liked the *idea* of it and I have absolutely no problem with Mika's performance at all, in fact he was the only good thing in it (maybes besides that dodgy chair dance at the beginning) I just have massive issues with the dancing/dancers and the editing. And the overall look to be honest, because it could have been so much better. It just didn't reach its full potential in my eyes. Okay well this is professional dancing. They're a Korean band called "DBSK" and they're amazing because they're so versatile. Please keep watching the video because the music changes it's style a few times. Plus, look at how they perform; they're neat, tidy, sharp, clean cut...they have very good spacial awareness and perfectly in time with each other. They work together.I know you can't compare this dance to BIOTG because they're completely different styles. But it doesn't matter what style you do, whether it be urban, jazz, salsa, tap, ballet or contemporary...dancing is all about working together and creating a vision. Like this other video for example (it's the dance shot version). It's nothing like BIOTG style or even the above video's style, but it's technical and just very clever. There are several people in this group and it's hard to co-ordinate dancers when there's quite a number sometimes, but just look at the patterning and the way it all joins together! Love or hate the dance, you have to admit that it's cleverly done. And watch the bit at 1:45 where they do a canon bit. The person in front has to know their timing PERFECTLY in order for it to sync well and it goes EXACTLY how a canon SHOULD go. The girls couldn't do it in BIOTG and they could look to see when it was their turn to move. The girls can't see what's going on behind them in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn2WpUYuies And these girls aren't even professionals. and I just wanna learn this dance so badly lol I understand what you mean .... what if he wanted the video to look like a rehearsal for a show / deliberately wanted it to look more genuine, like a group of students creating choreography for the song?.. if he wanted it to look like a rehearsal then in my opinion, there should have been more "behind the scene" shots to get that message across clearer, or have people come on and do a bit of hair and makeup or whatever. That pretty describes how frustrated I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlindee Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Really? I'll have to take a look Gotta link? Yeah, she's a little too theatrical for me sometimes in her movements. I had finally gotten used to Saranayde, so I'm kind of sad she's not entirely performing with Mika anymore I dunno, I didn't really like it when Saranayde was too much in your face either. I was glad she was getting a bit less in your face, and now he's got Erika and it will start all over again. how on earth did you find it? link please? http://www.myspace.com/immarock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazGirl Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 "The concept of using a card for purchases was described in 1887 by Edward Bellamy in his utopian novel Looking Backward. Bellamy used the term credit card eleven times in this novel.[20] The modern credit card was the successor of a variety of merchant credit schemes. It was first used in the 1920s, in the United States, specifically to sell fuel to a growing number of automobile owners. In 1938 several companies started to accept each other's cards. Western Union had begun issuing charge cards to its frequent customers in 1921. Some charge cards were printed on paper card stock, but were easily counterfeited."
