It was a really fun couple of days in the summer last year - made even better when we suddenly popped up on marillions youtube page as a favourite a few days later. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the support. I thought we might have had a chance in the comp. (even getting great feedback from the bands manager) but wasn't to be i'm afraid.
Official closing date of the competition today so I'd like to thank everyone who has watched and shared and sent good comments. Thank you, whoever you are.
Ok, that's officially my favourite so far... love all the sneaky references to previous albums...
I'll be surprised if this doesn't win the band's favourite prize. If it doesn't, it'll be because there's a better video for them out there, and that would freakin' AMAZE me.
have to agree with you. unfortunately every format i tried to upload wouldn't play properly so i ended up compressing down to mp4. The real video is very nearly broadcast quality would you believe!
This is just so funny. I love it. Very clever cos you have to keep watching again to see if you missed anything (as a Marillion fan anyway!) Best wishes and good luck Loobs.
This is indeed a good one. You've clearly put a lot of work and thought into this. Of course I shouldn't really be watching this as I'm helping the competition! :)
Fantastic video! Loved the whole school report theme and all the subtle Marillion imagery like the anorak "self portrait", marbles and the Severn Bridge - without a doubt this deserves to win!
I also wonder if we'll see this on a "Before They Were Famous" tv show in years to come!
I'm glad you thought it was subtle! There are also references to the new album that are different to spot on this compressed version - Hogarths geography project is called Asylum satellite and the asteroid pointing to mars is also a reference to the same song. For real anoraks there's also "the bell and the sea" and the first line of the invisible man. Loved your vid by the way.
The short answer to that is no! But we did set out to make a video that looked like it could have been "official". thanks for everyone watching for their support.
Those of us who recognise that THIS video actually represents not only the spirit of the song itself, but also incorporates so much clever Marillion iconography ought to try to spread the word and get MASSIVE numbers of views. I have already added this to my MySpace and Facebook... what else could we do to promote this video?
best entry in the contest. No wonder why Marillion put you as one of two favourites in their profile. I also made an entry for the contest, and used to be proud of it (check it out if you want, it's the only vid in my profile), but you set a milestone here! Not only a clip that is relevant and well done, but also very "marillion-y" and cut out for the song. Best wishes to you!
Thanks for your kind comments - I was on holiday when i read them and didn't know until then Marillion had made us a favourite. The two stars are really chuffed!
Seriously good video.... I'm sure long term Marillion fans will enjoy the symbolism. Probably wont win because there's to many (poor) videos already out there -- but I really enjoyed it
Thanks for the comments - i think we may be a bit late to do that well, but we wanted to make a purpose made film and not rehash stuff we already had.
bloody brilliant
