Johnny Marr - Johnny Marr - Down On The Corner

 
 
Original version on the "Boomslang" album (2003) Directed by New York/Paris based video installation artist Eric Tu "It was it the very first date of Johnny's US tour with the Healers, the Coachella gig was the next day . When we first met, i immediately felt the calmness and simplicity of Johnny and I loved the fact that the 'legendary guitarist' was actually a real down to earth person... which to me gave the song an even more raw honesty. I felt that the video should convey that, hence, the portrait concept. Johnny was willing to do whatever was necessary to get the job done for the video... but he actually didn't need to do more than one take because he nailed it. Johnny just being Johnny. We framed the shot like a portrait of his daily life. The rest of the action in the video , the doors opening and closing, the shots of Sunset Blvd through the door, the people in the reflections sound checking for the evening gig at the Viper Room, was totally unplanned and natural. Those were really his roadies setting up... no hired extras. The video was shot in all one-take and intentionally camera choreographed to be honest and subtle. Eric Tu"
