Knowingly kitsch and revelling in an 80's vibe. Torquay never looked so good!
Caleb Streat 8 months ago

Amazing! This can't be the same Torbay I'm thinking of. Only possible excuse is it's seen through the prism of brilliance.

Lovely vid!! beautifully shot and graded.
is it slightly out of sync? or is it my playback.
Anyhow lovely work!
Josue Rodriguez 8 months ago

You know, I have noticed in Metronomy's videos, including this one, they are all like maybe 1 or 2 frames off from the vocals.... I am beginning to think that its an artistic choice.
jebus197 8 months ago

80's esque pretentious crap. You're at least 30 years too late boys. As much as much of the pop music of the 1980's sucked, you've succeeded only in being even more crap than anything that was around then. Hot girls though, (well one very hot girl in particular) and the leg opening parts of the video were fun, but there's nothing beyond this to recommend it. You looked like you had a good time though.
Kaan Akalin 8 months ago

It must be hard being a person who is unable to derive enjoyment from something as cool as this song and video.
jebus197 8 months ago

Not really, there's plenty of decent stuff out there I can derive pleasure from. This isn't one of them though. I predict a short painful career of relative obscurity for these guys.
Josue Rodriguez 8 months ago

lmao, you have to let the haters hate.
jebus197 8 months ago

I don't hate everything. Just specifically this. I never liked the 80's much either.

Spirit of Space 6 months ago

this is the first time i've ever seen a thread like this on vimeo and it really annoys me, please remove this post....We are a video community and in no way here to discuss opinions about the music that someone created.
ProcuratorFiscal 6 months ago

You think there should be censorship of critiques on an artistic video sharing site? Okaaaay.

It's the response to the critique that annoys me. I found this video really inane and sexist. I have no idea what they were trying to achieve.. Ah well, the leg opening bits and arse-in-the-air-while-licking-the-ground bit perhaps gave a few men a titillating boner.

At least those of us cursed with a vagina got to see an ugly dude with some ginger bum fluff on his chin :)
jebus197 6 months ago

Well I wouldn't go as far as boner. They were the only mildly entertaining parts of the video is what I meant. Anyway your photo makes you look about 5, way to young to be talking about vagina's and boners... Lol. Nonetheless it's nice to bump into a fellow straight talking Scot. ;-)
jebus197 6 months ago

You like some fairly decent stuff though I have to say...

Its always funny how the people that have nothing worth saying always go to so much effort to be heard.
Shawn Landersz 8 months ago

ok, despite the fact that the singer needs to practice his playback singing.. the video was AWESOME! the song ROCKS! great stuff. bravo
David Wilson 8 months ago

for some reason the track's slightly out of sync.
I'm looking into it
David Wilson 8 months ago

URGH! Just re-uploaded and it's still out of sync :-(
callum earnshaw 8 months ago

hi david. i am having this problem too with vimeo. all the .mov files are perfectly synched then when i upload everything gets thrown about a little.
Johannes Östergård 8 months ago

check that you have your compressor set to 44.1kHz when you export your .mov, 48kHz may cause lag in playback on vimeo.
Johannes Östergård 8 months ago

and sick video btw!
callum earnshaw 8 months ago

yeah i never used to have any trouble till recently, i now export AAC with 44.1khz at 320. thanks anyway.

David Wilson 8 months ago

we shot on an Arri 35mm camera.
I won a prize a few years back where I could use film for a project of choice. I chose to use it on this project.

Winslow Porter 8 months ago

Bitchin vid indeed. You might want to reupload another version with the sound properly synched?
David Wilson 8 months ago

I tried this morning. I will try again tonight.
It's all in sync on my computer and then goes out when it's on Vimeo.
Very frustrating.
I'll re-compress it
Dan Nixon 8 months ago

Hi David,

Vimeo used to be really picky about the bit and sample rates of footage uploaded and occasionally throw things out of sync. Just in case it hasn't got any more lenient, have you tried 16bit/44.1Khz?
David Wilson 8 months ago

cheers Dan. that is what it's exported at.
I'm going to try exporting as something other than a .mov
