'Bend and break' music video for "hopes and fears video competition".
A Jackf Production
The video was originally filmed in London (August '99) and never edited.
This in an extract from the original tape simply playing slowly.
August 7th, 1999. I was sitting on a sidewalk in Covent Garden with my Sony Handycam (Hi8), it was my last hours in London, I was waiting for the evening to reach Stansted airport and go back home in Italy; I felt anxious and out of place.
In that moment I thought that filming so many different women with different mood (walking, running, smiling, thinking over, wondering, annoying, arguing) was surely a way to amuse myself.
Tim Rice-Oxley said about the song that "people often say that with proper depression, things can seem unbearably awful as your thoughts run around each other in the dark of the night but when the sun rises you can get more perspective and see things in a more hopeful way".
When I was back in my country I felt better and when I saw the video I thought that I never filmed that.
Ten years later I have some questions more:
Who were those girls?
Where are they now?

I agree with all the people before wrote and just want to add, that this video suits the song very well, because you can see all the emotions on the people's faces.
Good luck with the competition, you really deserve to win.
Ahhh, just before I forget it, I really like the shots and the way you filmed the people.
