The Offspring’s You’re Gonna Go Far Kid by Chris Hopewell
David Knight - 27th Jan 2009
A farmworker, chained to his miserable grinding toil, is released by a nymph bearing an enchanted guitar - and escapes to seek fame and fortune as the demon minstrel in the city.
A farmworker, chained to his miserable grinding toil, is released by a nymph bearing an enchanted guitar - and escapes to seek fame and fortune as the demon minstrel in the city. In his video for The Offspring from late last year, Chris Hopewell weaves a familiar cautionary tale with his usual sweeping vision. His city is a mix of past and present, reflecting a timeless story of a gift squandered by hubris, greed, arrogance, etc. Very rock and roll in fact. So let that be a warning to you, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watchhl=en&v=s_4aGXTHo7w&gl=US">very talented boy-guitarist on Youtube</a>... And through a combination of studio shoots, green-screen, post production, and willing extras, Chris and Collision Films partner Ben Foley are flying in the face of music video conventional wisdom with their sprawling movie-like storylines: after their first Mad Max-inspired epic for McFly, their second sees their <a href="http://www.collisionfilms.com/video/video_46.htm">Christmas fun spoiled by zombies</a>. Doncha just hate it when that happens
