Scott’s collection of the best film clips part 3

Part tri of my collection of best film clips is about to begin – PUMP IT UP!!

Daft Punk – Da Funk

A great clip from the genius that is the Punk. I suppose the dog is down on his luck with the broken leg and the wandering around alone. Amongst the awkward monotony he trudges through things look as if they are about to look up when he runs into the woman of his past and hopefully future. Unfortunately it inevitably all comes undone and resets to the beginning, all because of his stupid radio.

A Perfect Circle- Judith

This clip is directed by the great David Fincher. Director of Fight Club, Se7en and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a man who demands perfection and is known to do copious amounts of takes. This video was filmed over a number of days, one shot in particular took three hours to set up! The section where Paz the bass player put her hair in a pony tail was sped up to make it fit within the break because she couldn’t do it fast enough. They figured that out after 18 takes.

The clip looks superb, a perfect example of irony. Fincher took hours shooting, getting everything perfect and then made it look like it had been dragged on the ground and left in a basement for 10 years. It’s shot with an extremely narrow depth of field for Film. Fincher used his bag of tricks on Judith just like he did his films. The technique he most known for is after developing the film and withdrawing the silver nitrate, he draws the film back through it. Leaving the blacks pitch black making for high natural contrast. Enjoy!

A Perfect Circle – Judith

BLUR – Coffee and TV

There’s really not much to say about this film clip. It’s a simple love and life story shown over 6 minutes….between two milk cartons.
