Video: Mia Doi Todd Open Your Heart

La chanteuse folk de Los Angeles Mia Doi Todd se paie Michel Gondry pour son premier clip. On retrouve avec plaisir le goût du réalisateur français pour le bricolage, les chorégraphies et les concepts visuels. Une centaine de figurants pour un pantonier vivant, et un univers urbain plein de fantaisie et d'insouciance qui collent au plus près au titre. " Open Your Heart " est un extrait de GEA (2008), le septième album de la chanteuse, produit par Carlos Nino & Miguel Atwood-Ferguson .

Sweet, I'll take me some Michel Gondry directed video, even in music video form...

French director Michel Gondry doesn't direct as many music videos these days as he used to. The French auteur is more known these days for his borderline-surreal breakthroughs, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep, but it's nice to see the man hasn't lost his chops in terms of the three-minute ditty. His latest finds him matched with Los Angeles-based singer Mia Doi Todd , adapting a short film to her new and otherwise unreleased track "Open Your Heart." Turns out [...]

"Open your heart, and your mind," Mia Doi Todd sings on her new single, and after hearing the song and watching this day-brightener of a video by esteemed director Michel Gondry, you can't help but comply. The song, among the material on the Los Angeles songstress' forthcoming ninth album, sprang from a demo version recorded with Money Mark — and the song was not completed when the video was shot. In a nifty bit of musical choreography, the final version was produced by Jon Brion to match the video. How [...]

EW.com Music-Mix blog has the scoop on the making of the fun, colorful video: After signing on to direct the video for "Open Your Heart," Gondry went with Todd to scout locations in east Los Angeles. " Basically, L.A. is not made for humans. It's a lot of concrete and cars passing by. It's very blank, which is a great background to put all these people with colors." Next, they cast their stars. "I needed a group of people who could move together, but it would have been too affected if they were professional [...]

The reason that this video for Mia Doi Todd's "Open Your Heart" is in front of you is not because it's a thrilling song. It's an alright song with alright execution. No, it is because Michel Gondry directed it and with music videos, that means must watch. Here, he uses the extras as the creative seasoning. It's an easy trick, but it's enjoyable and you'll see what I mean when you push play.

I don't know anything about Mia Doi Todd , but this new video from Michel Gondry is another beautiful combination of colour and synchronized movement that only he could dream up. A large group of people in a rainbow of clothing provide simple yet surreal visuals to match the music. The song will appear on Mia's next album, due out sometime in 2010.

Há um novo vídeo, realizado por Michel Gondry, para o tema "Open Your Heart" de Mia Doi Todd, uma velha cliente deste estabelecimento.

E' un problema solo mio o l'ultimo video di Michel Gondry (per Open your heart di Mia Doi Todd ), pur essendo un classico video alla Gondry, è un po' deludente? Non sarà che anni di video virali e filmati user-generated su YouTube e Vimeo, spesso creati da gente con pochi soldi, tanto tempo e (a volte) una buona idea (esattamente come molti dei video del Gondry degli anni d'oro), hanno ormai definitivamente rovinato il terreno per giochini di questo genere?
