Kalle Ranta-aho Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hi, I´m Kalle from Finland, supposedly a very senior chatter on this forum (51). I´m trying to follow the rock-scene just enough to know approximately what´s going on. My true favourites are, as you may guess, those from the late sixties and early seventies: Stones, Bad Company, Jethro Tull, Bowie etc. Muse is one the very few new groups, that made me stretch my ears. So I went and bought the "Hullabaloo"-DVD. The music worked well, but, good grief, the director has sabotaged most of the visual part! Watching this piece on a 110 inch screen was pure suffering. There was five of us, and only one could watch the show to the end (the hard core Muse fan). Others moved to kitchen and just listened. That kind of a blinking/jumping/twisting-schitzophrenic directing/cutting sometimes works in a three minute music-video, but a concert-video should bring forth the intensity and athmosphere of the stage act of the band. The director could perform his hyper-activity somewhere else. I didn´t even check the name of the director (I don´t have the DVD-cover at hand to do it now), but I hope they don´t let that person do any more damage.

Hahaha this is a funny and interesting commentary about Hullabaloo.The director is Tom Kirk, a friend of the band. You're right about the "blinking/jumping/twisting-schitzophrenic directing/cutting"; at the beginning I thought like you do, but give it some time to watch it carefully, you'll notice that the direction is according to the music, sure it's different with other DVDs out there, but all the Muse's stuff is different, so why the DVD shouldn't be different? As a closing comment; when you let the images and the music grow in you, you'll notice that the DVD is not as bad as you think, I really like it. Hope you give it another try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axxe chikka Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hahaha this is a funny and interesting commentary about Hullabaloo.The director is Tom Kirk, a friend of the band. Tom didn't direct the concert, Matt Askern did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mort Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Tom didn't direct the concert, Matt Askern did. I believe that Kirk did the editing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperguitarplayer Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I agree with kalle! Horrible directing! I hope a future dvd will be much better.. The concert is great though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsp_thesmallprint Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I agree, my friend and i were just discussing the exact same thing whilst watching it the other day. It is too hard to watch, i would try and watch what matt, or any of them for that matter, was doing, and all of a sudden it would just skip to another shot. I still thoroughly enjoyed it though, any footage of muse that i can get i like alot , oh yeh, the thing i most disliked on the dvd, was when he does his plug in baby jump, it slows it down and looks retarted. Thats the best jump he does on the dvd!! Oh, apart from the one in muscle museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sick of your dream Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 My God...... That DVD was punching my eyes!! Motions according to the music? What for? I couldn't even immagine that DVD without the gretest performance from Muse..... It would be stressing!! I wish I could watch something better from a new DVD, but.... Fortunatly, I haven't bought the Hullabaloo DVD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukelion Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I had no problems with it, didnt care as long as I got a full length concert, and yeah, give it a chance, it will shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saaz Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Its Kirk's steady hand in the 2nd disc that makes me dizzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer balloon Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Its Kirk's steady hand in the 2nd disc that makes me dizzy. Watched that again last night and saw thousands of things I had never seen before. But yeah, he's got a really 'steady' hand. The filming on the concert itself doens't bother me at all. I think it's pretty fun actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saaz Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Same here, I've never actively thought 'This camerawork is awful' What did you notice on the disk you hadn't noticed before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mané Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 don't be so hard with tom kirk's way of filming, it's not a job he studied if i am famous i would probably make profit all my friends and my family (one would be my manager, one my assistant and one by dvd's director ) even if they do not know anything about the way to do it look at the footage on muse's official site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Garfield Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Maybe I'm weird but I find the way it's filmed pretty good and it didn't disturb me at all. Maybe I'm the only one though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saaz Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Nah I think its fine too, apart from disc 2 in some pits where it goes a bit patchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironlunged Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 So...would it be stupid to pay 25 bucks for it on import? I would like to see it, but if it's absolutely dreadful, I can find better ways to spend the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grbggrl Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I can see where the complaints come from, and I did find it a little hard to watch at first...but once I got used to it I thought it was great. My fiance has it in the UK right now though, can't wait to get that thing back so I can watch it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
°°Lilly°° Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 when the concerts started I was like wtf??? but after dead star it was okay and it's a really good way of cutting like someone already said you can find new funny things after watching it again and again and it's related to the music they play disc 2 reminds me a little bit of filming blair witch project and I nearly had to puke while watching blair witch but it's okay with disc 2 I was too busy laughing than finding time to get sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewster Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Anyone spot the bit on disc 2 with matt and his hand up the ladys skirt on the tour bus,she appears to be snogging dom and chris is laughing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mané Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 i don't remember the name of the band but the way they've made disc 2 looks like dvd shots made by a well-known metal band i have to ask my cousin the name, i know he knows because he told me that !
