Subject: Re: The Big (Budget) Sky Video
I think that someone pointed out to Kate that Empty-V seems to have a strong dislike for her style of video, and so she sat down and watched nothing but Empty-V for a week. And then thought to herself, "Pphah! I can do that *much* better!" She then proceeded to make the silliest Empty-V-like video possible, throwing in every single Empty-V cliche that ever existed or ever will exist and lots of other stuff just for good measure, all the while having a fun time. It worked too! This is the first video of Kate's ever to be in rotation on Empty-V (it's only in light rotation, however). "That cloud looks like one of those brown shiny things" Doug P.S. By the way, I think it's brilliant! Way Postmodern.... P.P.S. Peter Gabriel's video for "Sledgehammer" is pretty amusing too. P.P.P.S. So remember we were thinking about having another Dial-for-Kate-athon? I'm in a bit of a quandry though. It seems that calling up Empty-V for a video not in rotation is useless -- the dorky operators just say "But that's not on my form". And if the video already is in rotation, then what's the point? I mean, I'm morally opposed to "heavy rotation" anyway. (Then again, morals can be bent for the love of Kate....) What do you guys think about the issue?
