Four guys on eight treadmills, doing a synchronised dance.

How about several times during the video cutting to scenes of you being very 'gentlemanly' and sophisticated in a posh room or something, then towards the end there should be one in the room but with you guys rocking... kinda like the sepia bits in [url=http://www.dweebmusic.co.uk/videoshine.html]this video[/url]

the bit near the end of the song where it all goes quiet should fade to darkness and then when you start singing again maybe a strobe light or a really bright flash should light the whole set up.

when you make a hit of this vid are you gonna make more. please do 'my god you are beautiful' that ones emazing.

You could also make a video like the video "Keep Roling " by Limp Bizkit where you have one part in the video with action, where something appens and another one wher you where the camera shows the band. The you could fade in from the one part into the other one and back.

But you need something new, to catch so.'s eye. There are so many anoing videoclips all over the world. We need something brand new.

@Nick: But I know you are the man for the crazy things and you will find something great for the video.

I like the idea about the lampshades on the head, lighting up and walking around town or somewhere messing around, in the fountains etc. The idea with the static zappy machines good too..

Hmm... Electricity... Er... I was thinking about the line where it says "Each and every bit of me has now changed" that got me thinking about Rubix cubes, which lead me to games. Which got me thinking about computer games, computer consoles. [ IM GETTING A PSP FOR CHRISTMAS ] And uh yeah... hehe, it could be something to do with games, like... big pixels and such.

Perrrhaps...Virtual versions of you playing on stage, or something. You know like the uh... Gorilaz gig that just happened? Virtual holigraphs of the characters. Could be like that... That's pretty marvo actually. I liiiike.

Also connects to wires doesn't it... i like the idea about the light sorces going along cables...what was it...:

"i'm thinking ...
a load of cables with glowing balls of light travelling through them, lighting up the dark room and making there way towards you and into you!

(the whole electricity in my veins, symbolism etc.)"

That. S'gooood. Very Happy

You have gotta get nick dancing in there somehow, or if any of you others can dance then that would be pretty cool. Get that guy from audacious with the orange top to have a dance off with nick and stick that in this or a future video.

like the Vann de Graff generator idea. Would be good if it was based around Sheffield. Wires all over the place in a general mess would look good I think
