U2 video: Recording in Cadiz, Spain

[Thora]

Very exciting news!

 

[Cin]

 

[JOFO]

motorbike footage from Paris to Tarifa will be shot,

Motorbike footage?

 

[the tourist]

Too soon to get excited. Maybe if it was September 19th....

 

[Rob33]

Motorbike footage?

Yeah I was wondering the same thing...wtf....

 

[U2girl]

They were in it briefly in the crowd towards the end. Basically without them in it though.

That, and the other version was loaded with photos of U2.

 

[Ava79]

Yay!

 

[shart1780]

Cool. The prospect a U2-less U2 video is interesting.

 

[Moser]

All I Want Is You....sort of?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Yoohoo! A U2 video being recorded, hope its awesome

 

[wolbersu2]

Cool. The prospect a U2-less U2 video is interesting.

Maybe the video isn't U2-less. Band footage could be shot elsewhere and be mixed in the video... Though I like a video like 'All I want is you'.

Surely it's nothing, but really... NLTH Films?

Isn't that a little funny?

Could be something... If you google "nlth films" or "nlth film," the only sites you get are those referencing this article....

Good pickup!

NLTH = No Line on The Horizon?!

Window in the Skies.

If that counts.

Another U2 video here in Spain...

Pity Cadiz is in the other side of Spain...

 

[vaz02]

I get the feeling u2 are working for the Spanish tourist board

Good pickup!

also if you try nlthfilms.com, nothing comes up. but if you try nlth.com, all you see is "Coming Soon." hmmm

 

[Rachel D.]

The band could still be in it. They might be planning to interweave a band performance with the above-mentioned footage.

 

[BVS]

This may not be a music video per se, I've seen a trend recently where bands are making "trailers" for their new albums...

 

[david]

any updates?

 

[PookaMacP]

Well, if this is true, then the choice of Cadiz would surely hint at a Moroccan sound for the first single since the city is one of those in southern Spain that has close links with the Moors and whose architecture is highly influenced by that period.

 

[Lara_Croft]

i visited a couple of spanish sites....no words about a possible trip to Cadiz to write a report! We'll get news from u2.com or spanish newspapers tomorrow.

 

[LemonMelon]

This may not be a music video per se, I've seen a trend recently where bands are making "trailers" for their new albums...

Hmm...if true, this could be a sign that the Moroccan hype is accurate. I would think they would want trailer footage to somewhat represent the sound, even more so than with a music video.

 

[zuropa_fit]

Maybe the video isn't U2-less. Band footage could be shot elsewhere and be mixed in the video...

That's what I was thinking. Still, every bit of news like this brings us one step closer to the new album

 

[GibsonGirl]

theyre shooting a clip....without the band...

That's what it sounds like. And it's about time!

It wouldn't surprise me if they recorded some performance shots at a later date, though.

 

[phommel]

are there already more details? recordings? pictures? Is there any spanish fan out there to give more info? I need to know!!!

U2 valencia posted a small pic and a few lines:

Como estaba previsto, el equipo técnico de grabación del nuevo videoclip de U2 se desplazó anoche hasta la ciudad de Cádiz, tras haber estado anteriormente grabando en Tarifa y Bolonia.
A las 22.30 horas de ayer, el equipo de grabación formado por 20 personas llegaba a la Catedral de Cádiz para filmar imágenes a partir de la 1 de la mańana, aprovechando la escasez de tráfico.
La secuencia de grabación consistió en hombre caminando por diversas zonas de la ciudad (Mercado, la Plaza de la Catedral, Candelaria, Campo del Sur, la zona del Baluarte de San Roque y algunas calles del centro.
El protagonista del videoclip es un aventurero que llega en moto desde Paris y realiza una parada en Cádiz, aunque su destino final es Tarifa.
Como ya se comentó, el grupo no hizo acto de presencia en el rodaje.

how bout posting that translated into english. Doesn't help most of us much..

plenty of language translator sites out there..

 

[U2girl]

I'm sure someone fluent in Spanish will post the translation soon. I'd rather wait for that than some odd internet site translation.
