Hi guys.
I'm a massive fan of Vanessa's and have been since Harmonium. I'm in my second or effective fourth year of college now and I'm directing a music video. The thing is we are allowed to use any artist for this project we like as long as they provide permission.
Getting Vanessa's permission is proving trickier than I thought.
We cannot get in touch in any way shape or form as we are based in the UK and are desperately looking for a contact, because it's either we get in touch and get permish by next thursday or im going to have to use another artists music and do a totally different video.
Anyone have suggestions?
The song i'm hoping to use is Fools Like Me.
I have an entire narrative which is true to the song planned out, locations, etc. It will be filmed in the Lakes of England if we get permission. I think you guys would enjoy it. It's supposed to be very tender and raw and romantic and show a turbulent breakup and the foreshadowing of it all in a naive girls eyes leading up to a resolution where she realizes she no longer needs the man she was addicted to, and walks past him when shes arm in arm with someone who truly makes her happy rather than just tolerates her infatuation.
Obviously it's not going to be the quality of Vanessas videos since they cost quite a few thousand dollars and we only have a few hundred, but hey. It will probably be my last directing job because next year im majoring and minoring in marketing and distribution in media, so I won't have the chance to direct anything but little teasers.
My alternatives are pretty sweet too, but I like this one - the most ambitious idea - the best, because i can envisage the video the best.
UPDATE: Video Complete. Thanks so much for everyones help
