So this is the unofficial video clip for Lisztomania by Phoenix.
It’s a mashup of clips from The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, Mannequin and Footloose.
I’ve got to say, I’m enjoying it a lot more than their official clip. I think it’s those “It works so well” moments in the clip that really sell it for me.
The Unofficial is snapping up more views than the original at the moment. I guess this is why we’re hearing about more crowdsourcing and competitions for making video clips. It’s coming down to the concept, anyone with enough passion can get out there and start making videos. This is great for the business, an increase in competition is only going to spur on more creativity in video clips.
Don’t get me wrong, the official is a nice clip, it’s just not as engaging as the unofficial. Check out the official clip by Gang Films for a comparison.
