Title: How do you think the "Hands On Me" video will look
Post by: Butz on December 14, 2007, 06:44:00 am
Let's think about some concepts and visionary. She's probably ready to shoot the video as we speak.

And also I think it would be really great when the video premieres, that we send it to Perez Hilton to put it on his blog. It will be massive publicity and promo. It's not a bad thought.
Cause he hasn't said anything bad about her yet, so it's definitely worth a try.

Has he said anything about her at all?

I'm not sure how it will be. I know how I'd like it to be, but I doubt it'd end up that way. I think she'll be playing on the piano in it...I think there will be some sort of love interest in the video, too.

He mentioned her once. When she posed with Hilary Clinton for that funding thing.

Even though her other singles weren't AS popular as ATM...doesn't mean they weren't hits.
Oh Vanessa...how misunderstood you are.
You are very right Butz...
haha

My idea of HOM is that it's set on a cloudy, grayish day, and it plays out a lot of the things she says in the song like:
we've barely met but still i cross the street to your door
she would be in a big city with a lot of cars on a big road. V running through the traffic to knock on a door.
another line that i've thought about is:
We'll see the dahli lama i'll feel him blessing me.
they could be in the mountains with a bunch of Tibetan looking people in a buch of reds, yellows and oranges and they could show the dahli lama or someone that looks like him bowing.

idk just some ideas, i have more but dont know how to put them into words lol

Acctualy one of my friends hadnt ever heard of ATM but she's heard of White Houses, it was weird, she asked me who V was and i said she was most known for ATM. She said whats that and i explained and she's like "oh thats the girl who sings white houses, i love that song" a lot of my friends know white houses. it's cool.

That's a great description. She should really follow the song. There has to be a subway scene in the song! and water, and a video exchange.
Maybe a dahli lama look a like, but not make it comical.
I want the video to have an ethnic feel. Where we see V in all these different sceneries. With different simple looks. and a choir at the end, where she's facing the camera.

A real powerful video.

I use it on other forums, and I was sick of the one I had so I stuck it in there as a replacement for the time being until I find or make a better one.

It has to have a big budget. V deserves it, and with the promo they have scheduled for her, more more more!

Vanessa needs to be everywhere.

Exactly
The choir should be like a gospel choir with tons of people in long blue silk robes like you see those gospel people in

I think she should act of the lyrics in the song... meeting a guy, taking the subway to his apt.. etc

something reeeal artsy.

black and white?

doesn't the song make you think of this red temple amazingly contrasted against a really blue sky? on a mountain somewhere? :D i love black and white videos, but i feel HOM should be vibrant and colorful.

or maybe dull-colored, sepia-ish during first verse, and then bursting out in that color for the chorus?

hmm. i just want to see it.

Up next for Carlton is a January trip to India.

Perhaps that has something to do with the video......just thinking...it's probably not relevant at all...

The video could be of her walking through New York and all these landmarks and stuff turn into the things she is singing about. I dunno, I have to listen to the song again and then I'll think of a better concept. Come to think of it, my idea sounds kinda like the NF video. :)

That's how I had imagine the video (sorry for my english... :p)

Starts with she in a dark room sitting on the piano and starts to play the intro and the "I first saw you..." then the camera fades away get out of a Tv and then we see a video store with Vanessa behind the balcony seeing a guy getting out of the store... then she follows him... along the street and everything else... then she walks in a subway hall (i always thought of something like the the subway hall of the movie "Irreversible" with Monica Bellucci)... then startsts to walk up on some round stairs... and then she's in a big green garden... she walks through the garden and we see big trees, waterfall and everything like that around her... then we see a big buddhist church (something like this: http://static2.bareka.com/photos/medium/377145/templo-caminho-ilumina-central.jpg) and the she walks up the stairs... and when she opens the Big doors we see a Choir on both sides of the door singing the "hands on me.... hands on me" making a way to a piano and then all around her turn dark, we just see a the piano... she walks to the piano and starts to play the "I first saw you..." part... just like in the beggining...

I wonder if anyone understood this crazy thing with my all wrong english! ;P
