Franz Ferdinand’s No You Girls by Nima Nourizadeh

Mar 19th, 2009 @ 01:45 pm › David Knight

Dancing girls with video cameras, spectacular hats, moody lighting, Franz Ferdinand’s Alex’s beautiful androgenous alter-ego…

With a bagful of ideas and some sexy glamour, Nima gives Franz some of that Hot Chip vibe and turns the band’s performance into a multi-faceted art installation.

To be enjoyed over several viewings – not least for another excellent edit for Nima by Dan Sherwin at Final Cut, who presumably had to wade through a ton of ‘dancer-cam’ footage.

But then, an interactive version for the punters to edit themselves wouldn’t be such a bad idea either, would it?

Great discussion guys… honestly. Have to agree with the first two postings. Nima’s a genius but this all feels a little cold, and a little bit like old ground too. His own fault, for setting the bar so high last year
