How would you make a video for Integral ?

Just when we are over all those Integral threads (last poll helped),

I am starting to think, it could be a single, if,(repeat if) the right video was done.

I had a vision of :

1. A longer music intro, emphasising the beat.
2. A crowd/army? in the distance marching in step towards London.
The step of the crowd again emphasises the beat of the song.
3. An Orwellian film clip of the people of London falling into line subjugated
by the soldiers.
4. Pan up to the soldiers. They are all wearing Tony Blair and/or George Bush masks.

5. Controversy with us all writing to the newspapers calling for it to be banned.

Given a great budget, what sort of video would you make for Integral ?

A good effort on You Tube : PSB vs the Cybermen

Not sure on the video but i have a great vision of the sleeve designs for the "Single" formats.

7" "Neon" vinyl. The sleeve an ID card, Neil on front & Chris on back.
CD 1. ID Card of Neil.
CD 2. ID Card of Chris.
CD Enhanced. ID Card of yourself (space to put a photo of yourself).
12" "Neon" Vinyl (diff colour of course). Double sleeve for ID Cards of all 3 above.

I would invite about 50 people from this very forum and just have shots of their faces singing/miming lines of the song.

A fans favourite with the fans in the video etc etc

The video of Cybermen would be fantastic for Integral. I think that they will made like for Numb, two Cd singles, 12'' and 7'' not DVD, i fear(if they will really made a single with this song)

I would use a lot of recycled footage from Go West and put it to different backgrounds etc. I think it would be a nice contrast

What a great idea. That should ensure heavy rotation at MTV to say the least

On the same lines as the "Cybermen" video, there are also quite a few scenes from the film "V for Vendetta" that would be very apt.

A murder mystery with cameos from Leslie Joseph, Trisha and some other people

I think Integral could definitely be a hit if it had the perfect video to go with it...

A Dark and Controversial masterpiece in the vein (and budget) of Mylène Farmer videos... (she has some of the best music videos ever (with bjork)

Mylène is a Godess (she's right after PSB in my top 10)

It would have to be a full-on dystopian nightmare with lots of CGI.

Footage from the House of Commons debating the ID Card Bill, intercut with snippet of Neil wagging his finger from the "Minimal" video.

First of all I would do an eerie single remix.

Another Brick in the Wall footage.

they might do the depeche mode trick of using footage from cubism for the video, saving them filming another video plus highlighting cubism dvd,

depeche done that alot: think world in my eyes, condemnation, john the revelator.

It actually looked really good cubism so not such a bad option.......i suspect i'm in the minority!

Major question should be new B sides, any unused songs kicking about?
