As promised yesterday, today we have part 2 of a series of guest blogs by Colin, from the Ourobouros podcast and the Weekly Music Video Podcast! Read and watch yesterday's Part 1 HERE. And here's more from Colin!

One thing that really frustrates me about the low-budget and no-budget end of the music video market is the lack of imagination. All too often when a band has limited resources the video ends up being a simple performance video. This video by Seagull Strange from Bristol, England shows that even when all you've got is the band and a room you can still come up with something visually interesting. Directors Adam & Simon Bowman get the entire band to lip sync the lyrics of the track during an extended tracking shot that travels down a row of stools with the band on it. It's not so much the technique that is so effective but the facial expressions of the band that perfectly fit the low-key nature of the song. For the faster paced finale of the track we get the 'traditional' performance section but the timing of the change is perfect. Simplicity itself, but a great video.
