    This has to be my favorite White Stripes music video. When I first found this it just seemed really fun and random. But now its so eerie. I love how The Stripes really feel like a band that documents childhood. This isnt a song about being in love, its about the empty feeling that lays bare once its gone. As those shadows party, Jack and Meg playfully play piano and sing all the memories just keep coming back, somehow wrecking the place even more. Its ao chaotic, yet depressing and hopeful at the same time. Whenever I see Meg pack up and leave at the end it almost makes me cry. Then the song softly finishes like wiping away tears. there's another day to ge through and clean all that shit up little by little.

My ex and I, maybe 6 or 7 years ago we're really heavy into psychedelics at the time. We got into some "stuff" one night and made our way to watching Jack white videos. I'm actually glad this one didn't come up. It would have been WAY too intense and man it would have made me so sad! But shiiiiiiiiiiyt this is a great video and even better song! Just didn't know about the video until now! I've been listening to it for at least 20 years! Crazy! I'm blown away rn!

    I've always been amazed about how they made this, I'm a videographer myself, and when I watch videos, I wonder how they created it. But I never have thought it was that simple! It's a projector! Of course! Michel Gondry is a genius!

    • @ZholGoliath
      @ZholGoliath 5 лет назад +14

      I think its a projection on top of another projection, or on top of a screen and then both layers are recorded as a means to "flatten" the layers, the reason why I think it's more than one projection is that it doesn't deform at the corners or angles in the room, so it has to be projected onto a 2d flat surface... I'm an amateur cinematographer myself, Awesome video indeed.

      @Agropio 4 года назад +16

      @@ZholGoliath Maybe this is old news by now, but it's actually even simpler than that: The footage is captured from a spot in the room, and then it's projected from the exact same spot, trying to match the lens width as closely as possible (a good way to go about that would be to try to line up the projected room with the real room). Then the perspectives of the room sort of cancel each other out (the beam of the projector is seeing the same room geometry that the camera was seeing when it shot the footage). That's why the room doesn't deform but the characters do. So every "destruction" scene has been shot from the same place from where it gets projected later for Jack's scenes walking around (to get an idea of where that spot is, watch Jack's shadow on the wall; the projector is the primary light source, if not the only one, so the shadow will tell you where it is). It also allows the camera in Jack's scenes to move freely, since you only need to lock the projector in place. Sorry, long comment, I hope you'll find it interesting!

    Dead leaves and the dirty ground
    When I know you're not around
    Shiny tops and soda pops
    When I hear your lips make a sound
    When I hear your lips make a sound
    Thirty notes in the mailbox
    Will tell that I'm coming home
    And I think I'm gonna stick around
    For a while so you're not alone
    For a while so you're not alone
    If you can hear a piano fall
    You can hear me coming down the hall
    If I could just hear your pretty voice
    I don't think I need to see ya at all
    I don't think I need to see ya at all
    Soft hair and a velvet tongue
    I want to give you what you give to me
    And every breath that is in your lungs
    Is a tiny little gift to me
    Is a tiny little gift to me
    I didn't feel so bad till the sun went down
    Then I come home
    No one to wrap my arms around
    Wrap my arms around
    Well any man with a microphone
    Can tell you what he loves the most
    And you know why you love at all
    If you're thinking of the holy ghost
    If you're thinking of the holy ghost

    I think that this is the best of Gondry's White Stripes videos. The others were more technically proficient, but this one is far more emotional, and it matches the song particularly well. It conveys a lot of meaning, about the metaphorical and literal definitions of "home wrecker." Meaning is art, more so than technological tricks.
