U2 Fast Cars by U2mixer

Hi all

Here's my latest video for the U2 song Fast Cars.

It wasn't my first song choice to make a video for, but I thought it suited the graphics and video footage I'd chosen better than any of the other non-video songs from the HTDAAB era.

I was partly influenced by the new video for Get On Your Boots as the band plays against a green screen backdrop (that later on in the production they add special effects to) and I noticed that the short video for the Vertigo ipod commercial also had a similar coloured background that maybe I could add some sort of effect to.

As there was only a maximum of 84 seconds of U2 footage in the ipod commercial to try and stretch to the 3 and half minutes of Fast Cars, I have had to use A LOT of repeated footage. But hopefully the background keeps the viewer interested and also adds a little bit of UMPH to the song ;)

The band appear quite dark against the background, but I think the whole 'silhouette' thing works really well.

Anyways, hope ya like it ;)

@bathroommonkey76 Xanax and Wine is not better to me because it is "undiscovered" and less people know about it. My favorite U2 song is "Where the Streets Have No Name", which virtually everybody knows, and not some easter egg of a B-Side. I like Xanax and Wine better because I do. If you disagree, I really don't care.

And I think if this were a battle of pretentious posts, you take the cake my friend.

@macaronilettuce Spare me the pretentious U2 "undiscovered gems" talk. Xanax and Wine is almost as awful as 'Mercy'.

i think i liked it better when it was Xanax and Wine, it was a bit more gritty

this song would have worked as a main single on No line on the Horizon, I know the band were going for a North African vibe, i think this song has that!!!.. love it!
