Aiyyo, ima a Linkin Park fan and so don't take this the wrong way, i also am a newbie but that has no correlation with me being a fan, anyways i was wondering, how many of you think that Mr. Hahn should stop directing videos, or at least change from Japanese Animation to real stuff. I really didn't like the video for Points of Authority because it resembled Starcraft and i just thought it was kinda a waste of time, i would have enjoyed seeing Linkin Park themselves, and the Somewhere I Belong video was kinda crap too, just the fact that they had those... i dunno Japanese mechs??? in the video, just didn't really fit the song. Great band, but i think that the videos should change into something more better that suits the song.
It reminded you of starcraft? Have you ever seen the Final Fantasy movie.... Pts.Of.Athrty looks like a rip off of the whole movie lol The japanese mechs are called gundams btw...and they were hardly in the video They like gundams :] I liked the floating OSC dudes better though heh
First of all, Joe is Korean. WTF would Japanese things be doing in there? Second of all, theres no Japanese stuff in SIB. There's none in One Step Closer. Theres none in Papercut. Theres none in Crawling. Theres none in In the End.
I dont think the like gundam cause they just call the toys...... not gundam models or anything who knows. And Todd what about the water and fire japenese symbols on the door?
I think Joe is a genious. He likes his videos to be original. And the reason LP themselves were not in the Pts.Of.Athrty video is because they didnt want to be, simple as that.(Yes, thats true, they didnt want to be in that video) And in SIB, the robot/transformers are only used in Chester's bedroom, its just a prop that was placed in his room to make it look more realistic.
I can see what you lpsoldier, somewhere i belong could have been better and pts of athrty definetley sucked. i love mr hahn ( and happy birthday by the way) and think that the videos are are all original and creative, i just wonder what somewhere i belong would have been if joe didnt direct the video. i wouldnt have agreed with you, until i saw somwhere i belong. the whoel concept was awesome, but it lacked something. the lighting was terrible, and during parts of Mikes verses you couldnt see him. and the creatures at the end were awesome and really surpising. but the way they were presetned walking in front of LP playing just didnt lok good, with the long legs blocking them. i just think it could ahve been better. But Mr Hahn is definetley a genious, and im sure the next single will be better. and they never said that Joe would be directing the videos forever, although i have a feeling he will be. i guess we'll have to wait and see. ahah sorry if controndicted myself at all, i have mixed feeling son the subjetc. what do you think?
I think that Joe doez a really good job on LPz vids. Some ppl prob dislike his work, but truth is when u see one of da vids, u noe its linkin park. I think that's the most important thing, being able to b creative and setting themselves different from all the other bands out dere.
Well, it's not about us being able to do a better video than Joe, but about HIS ability to make a good clip. Althogh i love all l.p. videos (the pts. video wasn't that good, but any other videos rock). :chemist:
Well, , yeah, papercut was fine. OSC was nice but a bit boring, while in the end is much too CG... :chemist:
All right, I'm going to make a reply to this without reading the rest of the thread. First of all, Joe is Korean, not Japanese. Second, Mike is Japanese. How in the bloody hell do you think the "Pts.Of.Athrty" video reminded you of Starcraft? You're the first person in the history of that video to ever say that. If you've ever seen "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" you'd know that the "Pts.Of.Athrty" video looked like a spin-off. Apparently you've never read articles on what the video for "Somewhere I Belong" is about. The Gundams are used in Chester's room because they're there to represent items found in the room. They're just props. Everything in Chester's room becomes some sort of element in his dream. The Gundams become the huge metal thing in the background where they're playing and those elephant things in the painting are the things walking past the guys at the end. Okay, time to go reply to other replies in the thread.
All right, Mr. Todd. There are Japanese things in "Somewhere I Belong." The Gundams on the table are from a Japanese anime and those are model kits. Plus, on the door in the beginning, there are two symbols, one's the Japanese symbol for fire and the other for water.
Werd yo i'm the first person in history eh? What the hell does it matter, if it looks like FF than starcraft gimme a friggin break, i don't waste my time on gay ass movies that don't do well at all, so werd up dawg, All i'm really sayin is that they should make their videos similar to Crawling, it a way where it makes sense. SIB could be better if it was let's see.... eg: About a kid going through a divorce in the family, or Someone going through adoption, or A lonely teenager walking the hallways of his high school.
HOMOPHOBIC WHAT THE HECK IS A FORUM FOR? IT's for disscussion, only, to let out your thoughts and ideas of what ppl say so screw you, wanna ban , ban me, shoot me, think i give a fudge yall can kiss my ash. Oh yeah F-you.
