The AgnosticClown has replied to the e-mail inwhich we sent him, and the response has been less than porductive, to be honest. Read for yourself...
hi Guys,
love the ideas on the video...
the walking on the beach in the rain sounds good and i'm a big fan of the black & white theme to add to the saddness.
As for any ideas i have?
this song was written over ten years ago (when i was in my teens)
i remember that if i ever did a video, it was going to be many screenshots of a girl in a rain mac waiting for me on a bus stop and myself waiting somewhere else standing in the rain cos we somehow got our meeting place wrong... hence why i think she was cheating!
that's about all i have really...
having said that... i'm a songwriter not a film maker so i'll leave it to you wizz kids :)
if i can help in any way let me know and i'll see what i can do!
good work lads...
Anthony
aka AgnosticClown
As you can see he kinda likes our ideas, however doesn't particularly want to play any part in the actual filming. obviously we'll stay in touch and send him the end product, to make sure the actual video doesn't offend the clown

AgnosticClown: First Contact
So, we've got the song. It took long enough, but we've got it. When we recieved the song, we also got an e-mail from the artist himself, explaining that there is a free dowload if we're interested. What has excited the group is the possibility of contacting the artist, which we shall do. If he could offer any form of input, it could give us a big boost in terms of quality.
In terms of the concept, it has remained unchanged, which can only be a good thing.
Now to e-mail the man himself.

The Music Video: A Walkthrough
3 posts in 2 days, thats unheard of on this blog. But due to recent changes, it's gonna happen. This post is basically to inform you all what the video will actually be about.
We see our main protagonist standing alone on a beach, two packets of fish and chips in hand. After a check on what time it is, he throws the food items on the sand/pebbles in some sort of fury. He then pulls out his ipod, switches on the song in which we're using, and at that point the song shall play in the foreground.
As we follow the protagonist, he enters some sort of fair, where he partakes in various activies (mini golf, whatever games are in the arcade), showing a contrast in the happy conotations of the seaside, and the lonely position the protagonist is in.
As the song ends, so does our protagonists journey into the unknown.

Storyboard and yesterdays update follow up.
Lets ask ourselves why it isn't here. It may well be due to the fact that Lewis has it and he hasn't uploaded it. He's not here today, so tomorrow, attendence providing, or friday will be the days that it is uploaded.
On the topic of the song, as of now we're still using this "Agnostic Clown" characters myspace song, however if we cannot get hold of it, I've taken majority control of the group, through actually turning up, and I have chosen the support song to be "She dosen't exist" by The Elrics.
I've actually downloaded this song, and am listening to it now (again), and the song could easily be used with our "sad, lonely man on a beach of happiness".
Filming will be resceduled as soon as my group decided they actually want to do something and they turn up.
UPDATE: We have the song, as the expence of $0.90. I'd like to take this moment to thank Mrs Hammond for the purchase of the song. If you want the $0.90 back, i would be more than happy to oblige. providing its on or after friday. because thats pay day.

Music Video Update
Right, due to recent weather situation, we could not travel to bournmouth in order to film our music video. This is hardly ideal, obviously. However, this could be a blessing in disguise, as I've yet to discover how to rip music off of myspace. In a change of plan, by Adams reccomendation, I am to email the Codeine Velvet Club for permission to use their song "little sister". Should I not get a responce (likely), then I have downloaded a song by unsigned Oxford band The Elrics called "she doesn't exist", which isn't as bad as I thought it might be.
