New video shot in Spain!! (vertigo?)

U2 has been shooting the new video the last 2 days in spain.
The chosen place was Delta de l'Ebre, the place where the river deads to the sea.

The security was extremely high, and the only details revaled was the end of the video, where U2 was playing over a giant target (the atomic bomb??????).

Alex & Martin directed Seven Nations Army for the White Stripes. They are currently shooting the Vertigo video in Spain.

A large target? Jeesh, that sounds fucking stupid. This video is gonna be like Elevation and be terrible.

I'll try to reserve judgement until its out- but that DOES sound cheesy. What is it with U2 and their videos? I mean, by far the majority of their videos are just terrible. A few gems here and there, but good lord... you'd think they could pop out something good for the kickoff to this album, especially with all the $$$ they have.

Maybe the pink bunny will make a comeback, but this time with a big battery and playing larry's drums.

 

[Black Math]

The 7 Nation Army video was highly imaginative, so give those men a chance!

Are you always this bitter? Because it's becoming tiresome annoying.

In the end, who cares about the video?

Most people in the world may hear the song but never see the video. It's the song that counts. btw, no one has seen any bit of the video yet so I don't think its time to judge it. Who knows? If their is a big target it might be used in such a fantastically creative way that it will blow people away.

Would all of you stop deciding that rumors are truth?

 

[nurse chrissi]

I just want new content - video/single/album/interviews/tour etc.
Kinda like the new interview with u2 done by the senior staff here

Video - of course it will be good - but this is coming fom someone who would be happy with a video of the boys sitting around reading a newspaper so anything above that will impress me

 

[zoopop]

Its just a target. Geez.

 

[AtomicLemon]

I agree with Martha ...

 

[AtomicLemon]

Maybe it's a special promotion for the store Target!

...kidding. Can you imagine?

Typical! Judge something based on a single reference that would pertain to probably a few seconds worth screentime.

Alex & Martin are phenomenal music video directors, and speaking as a music video director myself, I think its a safe bet that this video is going to be quite impressive.

ciao

 

[SmileyGladhands]

Also, it's my understanding that the "target" the boys are standing over has more to do with the spirally "Vertigo" theme than the Atomic Bomb reference.

 

[tkramer]

A heart shapped stage?! Sounds retarded!!!
A giant arch?! Sounds rediculous!!!
Autung Baby? What kind of album title is that?!!!

...Think about context people.

 

[Phalanx]

Tell that to MrBrau1.

 

[artdirector]

tkramer, good comments. I wonder if they are going to have a spiral stage for the tour that spins them around like the Even Better than the Real Thing video.

 

[Lo-Fi]

Let's just give it a chance, they've picked someone who has an imagination for video's, it might sound stupid, but if we see it in the context you're meant to see it, it might work.

i find his opinions to be refreshing because he's not always saying "OMG!1U2OWNS!!!11"

 

[MrBrau1]

I've heard Scott Baio will be in it as well. I'm sure it will be great, because U2 have such a history of AMAZING videos.

 

[ryanu23]

I want Charles in charge of me.

 

[AtomicLemon]

Why the are you even here?

 

[MrBrau1]

Cause I love U2 records.

 

[Flying FuManchu]

Why the are you even here?

B/C we are all U2 fans and we like either the music or we like the band or maybe both...

A community that represents varying viewpoints, opinions, and personalities is cool with me.

I like MrBrau1's posts b/c its not all about this (the best representaion of kissing butt I can find).

 

[Flying FuManchu]

U2 also makes terrible music videos... and the image of U2 playing on top of a red Target symbol does not produce hope of a good video...

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

There's a video clip of a news report about it here-maybe someone can translate what the reporter said

Okay guys. This isn't going to be a video of U2 playing on a giant target. What they will probably do, is animate the target on the computer to make it spin around. You know so, U2 are playing on a big...hypnotizing...spiral...in Spain...? Or, it will be U2 playing the song really quietly near the ocean with all of these Spaniards walking by and talking.

 

[AtomicLemon]

It's not about kissing butt, it's about maintaining a sense of respect for the other people on this board . Saying something is "fucking stupid" sounds like my 13 year old nephew. I have varying viewpoits as well, I don't agree with everything the band has done, however I'm not going to curse about it and act like an arrogant A-hole. Maybe because I am older than most of you and work in the industry, I am used to different ways of conveying a distaste for something.
I'm probably coming off as a prude or something, trust me, I'm not. And it would be boring if this was a place that was full of robots who worshipped everything the band did "OHMYGOD! THEYRESOOOOOOHOT!!!" etc... I guess it's just the bitter tone is all. Sorry if I sound like an ass, let me apologize in advance for that...

 

[Flying FuManchu]

Seriously, the possible Target connections are priceless...
