Feel Alright

Garageland

Synopsis

Intriguingly shot by Gina Birch (founding member of English band The Raincoats, and whose remarkable work includes clips for The Pogues, New Order and The Libertines) who appears to have shot the band's entire performance at least 12 times, before dissecting the footage and reconstructing it into segments. By splitting the screen equally into 12, Birch achieves a unique and captivating effect, brilliantly emphasized when a mirror is used to dazzle the camera in one of the 12 shoots. Crafty.

Chris, that's great to hear. My 5 year old puts Garageland on the CD player without me telling him that I think he should now ( which is nice ).
Thanks for your comments.

Great video and song. Mark, you guys really were the best. I've enjoyed recently introducing my teenage daughters to Garageland - big fans, like me.

darn, I'm really supposed to be writing up my last assignment for this year on Urban Design.... but I'm stuck watching/listening/enjoying the flying nun collection.... this one from Garageland is both beautiful and haunting... a great vid too. Nice work

Again, another brilliant Garageland moment: video shot on the banks of the river Thames (London) works great with this song. Mark from Garageland
