| Johnny Marr - Down On The Corner |
 |
Original version on the "Boomslang" album (2003)
Directed by New York/Paris based video
installation artist Eric Tu
"It was it the very first date of Johnny's US tour
with the Healers, the Coachella gig was the next
day .
When we first met, i immediately felt the
calmness and simplicity of Johnny and I loved the
fact that the 'legendary guitarist' was actually
a real down to earth person... which
to me gave the song an even more raw honesty.
I felt that the video should convey that, hence,
the portrait concept.
Johnny was willing to do whatever was necessary to
get the job done for the video... but he actually
didn't need to do more than one take because he
nailed it. Johnny just being Johnny.
We framed the shot like a portrait of his daily
life. The rest of the action in the video , the
doors opening and closing, the shots of Sunset
Blvd through the door, the people in the
reflections sound checking for the evening gig at
the Viper Room, was totally unplanned and
natural. Those were really his roadies setting
up... no hired extras.
The video was shot in all one-take and
intentionally camera choreographed to be honest
and subtle.
