Strange but watchable

[phatcat1]

Here is a somewhat surreal video taken by my son and his mates on a sailing weekend on Cento for his 16th birthday.

They are all members of a band, and this is their first foray into a promotional video, even though the music is Rage Against the Machine. I warn you it is surreal, even I feature!(at the end)

East coasters may recognise Felixstowe, Walton & Brightlingsea, as well as the odd Thames barge. Hence the post here. As you can see, it was a cracking sailing weekend!


16 year old surrealism

Sometimes I'm glad I'm not plugged into youth culture.

 

[phatcat1]

Try spending the weekend on the boat with them!

Certainly lively & fun, if a little tiring!

 

[suse]

Yeah, terrible, isnt it - watching kids enjoying themselves while I'm sitting here! Shouldn't be allowed, sez I..

Hee Hee...

looks like they had fun!

RAtM.... quality stuff!.... least they're not listening to Limp Bizkit... I learnt a few new words when I heard the latest album! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Neil, when you get a Maggie replacement, we shall make sure she features in the next video!

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

sure... but would they use Duran Duran or Spandau Ballet on the video next time please.... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[phatcat1]

Hmmm.... Highly unlikely!!

I will ask them on your behalf

Perhaps we should organise a Battle Of The Bands on the boats as my Heir Apparent also has a band. They would gig anywhere for peanuts.

 

[johnalison]

Thanks for the offer but I don't think I'll come on board as it looks like someone's got fleas

 

[phatcat1]

Ours would gig anywhere for a beer! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

 

[phatcat1]

Who's got fleas??


No flea's on Cento, I can assure you

SWMBO would Nuke them ( and anything else that moved!)

 

[Sgeir]

Shouldn't they be out building barricades and fighting the polis?

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Oh don't be so....... so....... French.

No... they should be sipping at tea, and eating cucumber sandwiches.

Great, Very Funky

Toms lot are here, but are going to split after their gig next friday as he has a few other musical projects on the go, and being in three bands is too much.

They will re-form as Aviatrix with a slight line up change!

False sense of Security

Tell them to give up with the band and the music they play. It might save some of their brain cells for future use.

More money I reckon to be made in them offering surreal promotional videos to skippers who need to attract a younger type of crew member.

The video editing style does show signs of creativity - this needs to be nurtured. Put the author on a course.
