Schkopi.com : Prince et Minneapolis Sound

Anonyme a écrit :From the beginning, there was excitement in the whole lot that day, you could feel it.

And then around 3:15 pm the main door opened and in struts Prince into this big nasty empty sound stage, it was like he was one of us. It was somewhat surreal as suddenly people noticed him strutting towards everyone and as people realized it was Prince, there was a wave of hollering and excitement!

He put his hands to his mouth and waved and summoned us all over around him because he had an announcement to make. Of course I got up and walked over and was right next to him as he gave us the news! He said the room was too small and couldn't use us.

Prince apologized and thanked us all for coming out. Amidst the disappointed crowd, someone asked Prince if at least a few could join him for the filming and Prince answered back and said, "U can come!" as he pointed at the person, "I can use U but there is barely enough room for Chance and myself" he said as he turned to the crowd and clasped his hands together. He seemed genuinely disappointed he couldn't use us.

He chatted a little further and he scoped everyone else...then he compimented on how everyone looked good! People shouted that so did he! He was very down to earth. He said thank you and proceeded to leave and waved his hands with a smile and walked out. People were excited and dissapointed and applauded him when he left for being cool enough to break the news personally. I saw that he went into a trailer with his entourage.

It was a thrill to see him in person and that he came over to give us the bad news, that was extremely fabulous! I didn't even notice too many security hassling, Prince just walked in with his security behind him and assistant and basically spoke to us like it were a gathering of people in a project.

There were extras and NPGMC members mixed in, but I'm sure he figured out who was who perhaps. Fans were a mixture of being elated and of course dissapointed. I was like its cool, whatever, but I did hang around since I was IN the lot already. Chance was hanging outside and then he and John Blackwell entered the sound stage and said hello to a few fans and signed autographs.

I hung outside the sounstage and adjacent to us was the other soundstage Prince was filming at. I wondered as many what the heck? Why so small? What happened?

I think there might have been some rethinking once the stage was set which might of not been assessed properly. Perhaps it was just too hazardous for people or an "audience" to be on it.

Needless to say, I was left with an extreme curiosity and found my way in the actual filming studio.

There were a lot of stage people with headsets. I realized why he couldn't use anyone, because the stage was rotating as they filmed and there was probably a safety concern from the looks of it. The stage was elevated about 4-5 feet up and had platforms that were to narrow, only for band members to play they're instruments on. So they couldn't cram people on them. I think Prince didn't know that and probably said no way. The stage floor was also extremely slippery and shiny.

It will have a dark, elegant and almost Asian feel to it. Lots of cognac and similar colors in stage and lighting that pulsated around the elevations, large paper lights hanging from the top, etc, very romantic and simple.

The video is going to be great, its going to resemble the "in the round" feel of the current Musicology Tour with camera's flying all around the stage from below, from the side, from up high, very nice. Prince is center stage and his band members will be rotating or almost flying around him as will the viewer, very innovative stage and filming.

You're going either to be really dizzy when the video is over and wonder how they did it! Its almost Matrix-y in the sense of rotating stage and camera looking like its flying around. I got a great view from monitors set up for guests of the director to view. Lots of over head and close up shots, the band in one, Brazilian dancers in another, I think they're going to do superimposing.

There's going to be Brazilian dancers doing a dance about "Calling" or a "Call" dance, something like that from what I remember. They shot those the day before. This of course goes with the song Call My Name.

When I first was at the shoot I noticed they were going through a run through, filming it but as a rehearsal thing. With Call My Name blasting and every current member of his band in different places on the rotating stage. John was playing his drums on the "floor" of the stage, Candy was playing and Chance was on an organ I think, with Renato on keys, I didn't notice the horn players though. Prince was looking from off stage beside the filming camera's. Then they wrapped it up and Prince turned around, coughed and spoke to production person and his assistant opened the door and Prince strolled out. His band members, all walked past me out to they're trailers.

I waited around at the shoot for a loong time for Prince to come back and start filming. Then he comes back in! This time with a new outfit on! Its very very Gold era or Diamonds & Pearls era, its a light cream or off white outfit with Gold or brown trim. Very nice and very Prince.

After a while...Prince was on the stage being filmed. Prince was waiting patiently and clapping his hands together out of anxiousness as the director rehearsed shots. Then Prince got off the stage very carefully and I noticed he had on blue booties to protect the floor of the stage! He then started directing Renato on what to do on the keyboards.

I decided I saw enough, it was a great experience and left for home since I felt the shoot was going to last way into the night. As such, its going to be will be a great video!

lejuice a écrit :Merci doriel, c'est grâce à ton lien que je viens de voir le clip. Que je n'aime pas trop…
Un peu trop cucu la praline, ces images de mariage, d'amour joli et tout ça (attention je ne suis pas un vieil aigri !!). Prince ressemble à fond à Prince de the most beautiful girl in the world, donc pas top, pour moi, à part au moment où il hausse les épaules, dans le dernier tiers du clip, où là, il est trop chouchou. Je préfère le clip de Musicology, + fun. et je préfère Musicology, la chanson, dont je ne me lasse pas.
Toute façon j'aime pas quand il sort des slows en single, même quand j'aime les chansons en question.
