Little Spitfire video makes film critic's choice



My 2007 music video has this week become the critic’s choice by the UK’s largest independent movie review site. Two years after winning ‘best music video’ award at End of the Pier International film festival, it has resurfaced in popularity.
MiShorts say, 'Our monthly films reviews are provided by Future Movies, one of the UK’s top review websites. Their editors are a recognised source of movie reviews worldwide and regularly appear on the world’s largest review website, Rotten Tomatoes. You can trust these guys to tell you what they really think about our films'.
Guest critic, Jay Richardson is an award-winning arts and entertainment journalist. He writes reviews and features for Future Movies, as well as regularly contributing articles for the Scottish and Irish national press.
Jay says,
This award-winning, debut promo from rock band Little Spitfire prompted their signing to an independent label and stands as a starkly memorable calling card for director Neil Horner. Conceived as a riposte to traditional broadcast media’s impenetrability, the band is discovered flying a plane at an enemy control tower, assaulting it with their sound. Shot on digital with bold use of colour and black & white supplemented with sparing use of blue and green, the desaturated 3D footage distinctively pairs elaborate make-up with green screen technology, producing dramatic action shots that ape Japanese anime in the harsh, almost spectral intensity of the band’s expressions.
Thanks to Jay for such a nice review (of course I completely agree with him! :D ) and thanks to MiShorts for making it their official choice.

Little Spitfire and many more great films can be seen here at Mishorts.
