‘Love me’ video

As well as being a musician of the highest order, Lyn seems to be fast becoming a great director. Today she finished her latest music video, which can now be found here. I think it’s great, of course, but I am also quite interested in the elongated transitions. You will see what I mean when you watch the film, but it’s a technique never seen in the mainstream. Cutting is almost always invisible, but here Lyn has drawn attention to them by making them longer, so for a while you have two separate images on the screen, two things to look at, one slowly seeping over the other. I find that cool because it makes you realize how much of film editing is stylized artifice. Anyway, enough of my babble, go watch!
