Video on Trial 2: Back with a Vengeance

I have returned with a new video to punish and a new video to reward with my admiration(because that is worth soooooo much). Anyway, the 2 videos on trial today is Change by Deftones and Saint Veronica by Billy Talent.


Case#1: Let's start with the good video today. Saint Veronica by Billy Talent was a good video. The song was about a girl named Veronica who found her mother's pills and went into a coma. I like this video because although it doesn't match word-for-word with the song, it's still relevant because the events of the video could be what she's experiencing in her coma, like it's just a really messed up dream that she's having where she and her family are living rag-dolls. At the end of the video, one Veronica's threads get caught on a nail as she was running away from her family. She then unravels and possibly dies. I liked the look of this video because for whatever reason, it reminded my of the Village or Strangers...even though The Plot of the Village had so much more potential to be a seriously awesome move but failed because it was an M. Night Shyamalan film. Anyway, I find this innocent of being a well executed video with a REAL story behind it *cough* Drake *cough*. 8/10

Case#2: The the bad video :/. This video made me sad because I had high hopes for this video because I thought the song was awesome..however I was clearly wrong. Change by Deftones was an awesome song before the video however watching this video ruined the song a little for me. In this video the shots are mundaine and don't look like they have at all..anything to with the song. In the song its self was good. How I imagined it, I thought of someone changing before your eyes and becoming a much colder person than from when you met them. In the video, it was the band playing at some party with lots of booze and hardcore drugs and animal masks for whatever reason. This video was a huge disapointment and I find it guilty of being a poorly executed mess. 4/10.

Anyway that's if for now. If you want to feel what an eye seizure feels like, go to Burningmeh's blog and look at his video on trial blog post where he review Bon Jovi's Have a Nice Day. *sigh* Honestly Bon Jovi, nobody likes you that much. >.<
