During one week starting from the 24th September 2010, the members of Alpine were feverishly writing e-mails back and forth to each other in regards to the first, second and final edit of our first music video Heartlove.
I decided to distract these discussions and put them into a thread for this blog entry. Below, should give you an insight into what aspects we liked, didn't like, what we agreed, didn't agree etc.
Interestingly, Timmy is a little quiet on this matter....?

Friday 24th September 2010 - We watch the first edit…
“Looks expensive…whoah. The only thing I don’t like that much is the ending…I think I'd prefer a full band shot here.” Ryan
“Just watched it. Then had to watch it again. I love it. I think it’s great. I took some screen caps, of my favourite shots! The first "I never wanted you to go" with Phoebe looking into the camera is hot, hot, hot! I'm that excited about it at this stage that I haven't managed to find anything I don't like. So I'm going to watch a few more times and find some constructive feedback. But, at this stage, I think it looks really cool. Well done team.” – Phi
“Glad we bought that cowbell, it looks great!” - Christian
"I think it cuts too fast to often. You kind of loose that glide-like effect which was really cool! I think it’s because the song and the set is so busy that then the movement shouldn't be so busy. An example is when we are singing it cuts off half way through a phrase so you can never really quite focus on something before the next shot has come in. I just think it needs to slow down a bit.” – Phoebe
“Finishing on a whole shot of the band is a major cliché.” – Phil
“I don't like the shot of me at the end, I look like I have blood shot eyes. I’d really like to have that shot we did when Christian, Tim and Phoebe in the shot and as the camera moves up the tracks and as it comes back it reveal me, Ryan, Phoebe and Phil. I think it gives a sense of togetherness and yet randomness” – Lou
“Ok Lou and I have just been talking and we think that the shot of Lou’s fingers turning the lamp is a bit creepy - her little nail bitten hands turning the lamp!” – Phoebe
“The shot of Phoebe doing the microphone dance is amazing! I love the energy!” – Phil
“I've sent the things that we wanted to change or weren't sure about to Pete, who's going to talk to Matt? I guess we'll see what they agree with or disagree with.” – Ryan

Tuesday 28th September 2010 - We watch the second edit...
“I’m pretty much happy with this one” – Christian
“Breaking it down, I think the first cut (oh oh a oh oh) is better then the second cut. But then I think the first cut (i i i never wanted you to go) is better in the first cut. I feel it’s a bit more playful or something. But overall it looks great! :) Lou, you look sexy as!” – Phoebe
“The super hot shot of Phoebe needs to go back in! I wont be happy with the clip unless that shot is in. It’s good to see that my missed kick is in though. I'm not too sure about the ending? Phoebe stops singing, but her voice is still heard. I much prefer the original ending.” - Phil
"The hot shot of phoebe has gone back in.” – Christian

Thursday 30th September 2010 - We watch the third edit...
“Third cut is perfect.” – Christian
“Pete (manager) wants us to sign off on it tonight so that they can grade and finish it tomorrow!” – Ryan
“I'm sorry guys, I can't sign off on it until it's perfect, and I think it still needs work. I really don't want to be a pain.”- Phil
"I've watched it too many times! You guys make it fabulous! I don't want to hate this music video...haha! - Lou
"Too dark i say. I cant believe i'm saying it but, yes its too dark." - Christian
“I think the final grade isn’t dark enough. Looking again, maybe it is a tiny bit too dark, but I don’t think you would want it much lighter.” - Ryan
"Pete (manager) said he got it too, alright i'll shut up" - Christian
"00:19 There is a shot of Phoebe singing "oohs and aahs" that is out of sync. The snare hits on the drums don't match the track.
"Cool... i like it dark.. but not too dark.. haha" - Phoebe
