some people, in fact many people, truly love it
to me it reverses the order of audio and video in the film format - the songs lead the narrative, and the video is more of an accompaniment
it seems simple the way it's shot, but that's moon's brilliance i think (like a masterpiece drawn from child-like sketching)
however, it's really up to taste, much like anything
barring someone from creation is down right the exact opposite of the meaning of "ars gratia artis"
sorry to ramble on, but i thought it was more becoming than just telling you to fuck off.
I don't recognize the 'brilliance' in what he does because it looks average and usual.
Having interesting captivating subjects is a different story. You can point a camera at something bland and it'll be bland. But if you point a camera at something inspired, the image will be inspired.
I've never understood how using mediocre camera work and super stylized digital color effects makes something into a piece of 'art'. Just because you have an already interesting subject matter/content, doesn't mean that these sorts of techniques add anything creatively.
Could you take the same techniques and shoot something that's not interesting, or famous, or already celebrated, or already hip, or already cool, and have it be a good film? Probably not.
Everyone will watch REM or The National out of focus and with bad lighting and a digital handicam with some color effects because its REM or The National. They think those techniques are 'brilliant' merely because they're blinded by the personalities being shot, not the actual filmmaking.
I see REM or unknown musicians - is not very crucial for me, and famous musicians aren't the only reason to watch, because also i love discovering a new music through the films of Vincent.
This dispute is reminiscent first appearance of impressionism in the visual arts; when the artists the realistic school were shouting: 'This is not art, damn it' and rushed to prove it. At the same time, impressionism was well accepted by people who was _more_susceptible_.
I think for me in this 'out of focus and bad light' (with the addition of a suitable dynamic, which exactly found from the music) contains more life and the integer impression than in explicit frames following one after another and look like rambling collage of people, smiles, legs, moods, hands, nails, steps, strange sights special for camera and so on.
my growing impression of the contemplation is more valuable to me than the glut of visual information in the best technical quality but with many details of minor importance.
only the ones that you allow to manifest in your head.
vincent moon isn't trying to appear as a genius. but he is, anyway, because he is true to his craft. that's always brilliant in my book.
also consider, it is real-life that is being depicted, with the biggest focus on music. the images are intimate which makes one feel almost as if they are present, literally invited in. watching these videos are truly harmonious and meditative.
