Jason's Music Video

Graham Thom15 February 2010

You were robbed! What a great fun video. Enjoyed it very much.

Karmen15 February 2010

Both music video's were great, but I think Jason's video was the best!

indie198215 February 2010

As much as I loved Suzi's and how polished it was, Jason's had a more viral look to it which I liked more!

GadgetGuy201015 February 2010

Amazing video if you had better tech you would of so won hands down!

jambo_game_kill15 February 2010

your video was more of a rap video

kerem15 February 2010

Ha! this is brilliant! Just saw tonight's episode and wanted to watch the whole video.... Glad I did, I love Har Mar and I love the Gadget Show, so I'm double pleased. Seriously, I'm inspired to make a short film now as I've been thinking about it for ages but have £0 budget - this shows you don't need one, thanks! x

Charlie15 February 2010

Loved both the videoa they were great but for techniqual affect Suzi's was better and more professional looking, but Jason's was funny

JP15 February 2010

Love this Vid

liam brown from belfast15 February 2010

class vid goes well with the song will be checking it out again.. good job..

PETER RUSCOE15 February 2010

Jason Your Video Was The Best

Jase15 February 2010

you should have won Jase, this is a great vid and just shows what you can do with hi-street tech. Keep up the good stuff

Richard15 February 2010

Smiled all the way through, excellent idea and well executed with the kit given. Good enough for MTV.

FRJ15 February 2010

Diggin the vibe man!

Wes15 February 2010

Excellent work. Not bad for FCE. Jas you should have used a steadicam merlin. £600 of consumer kit and gets great shots. When are you guys gonna make you videos online work on the iPhone. You could maybe post them on YouTube, vimeo or exposure room. Brilliant work though!

steve15 February 2010

loved it way better the perrys

Enrique15 February 2010

One when you can give up your day job ! (not that you would) Brilliant !

SiikxReCOiLZz15 February 2010

Suzi's video was more professional, however, Jasons was so random and funny! :]

Virulil15 February 2010

Jason's model wasnt that much of a model too much makeup>>>>

Ian15 February 2010

I know it's just fun but how come Suzi gets all the good tech and more expensive help? Strangely she seems to win frequently.....odd....(puts finger to mouth and looks up to the right in wonderment)

Rach_B15 February 2010

Great video... kept me watching right to the end.. and its got a real fun element to it too... you should of won Jason!!!

jimmy15 February 2010

i liked jasons video best. alot of the time it seems like the challenges are unfair in favor of suzi

Helen15 February 2010

Great vid... reminds me of the vids from my youth (in the late 80's) ... different to what we are all used to now. Great effort, hampered by the fact harmar wasnt there during the bmx/board shoot as having him there would have made the video flow better between scenes. Still, it was the vid I chose to view first to see what you could achieve with joe public tech.

nick sharpe15 February 2010

i think it was a good video but you lost because the music sucks :/

Jimmy G15 February 2010

Great video that was full of creativity given the tech that you had. Most people could produce a polished looking video given a professional crew and "techno" cranes! But you managed to pull off a natural and captivating vid that has a gritty and tangible feel to it that matches the music. If you had used the same kit as Suzi for that shoot probably wouldn't of been a doubt over it. Well done.

Marcos15 February 2010

Jason's video was wicked! and I loved the song from Harmar whom I hadn't heard before. thumbs up!!

Jack15 February 2010

HA, that was class! i love the hole paying the people off thing. I think this should have won hands down. good job (Y)

RezaBlade15 February 2010

Both music video's were very nice, but I think Jason s video was the best A*****

designrules15 February 2010

I think the judges missed the point. They talked about what video would get a music contract, surely the imagination of Jason's told more of a story and was more intuitive whereas Suzi's (I love you by the way) was far too polished and something you would produce (or the music company themselves i.e. re shoot) once you have a music contract. It's all about getting noticed at the end of the day and I think Jason had it by a mile. Rage against the machine!

Royce15 February 2010

GREAT VIDEO! Fun, fast and great editing. Never would have won tho because the judges have their jobs to protect.

Majestik15 February 2010

Was a great video! Much better than Suzi's :P Good work!

george15 February 2010

best video i've seen in 2 years

Alien15 February 2010

Suzi's, All The dosh, all the same posh. looked liked too many band videos of past. no originality, Jason's considering the budget made excellent visuals and comedic story. fun and great!

Woody15 February 2010

I thought that the quality of Jason's video was awesome as he was using gear from the high street not professional equipment and expert crew as Susie did. You were robbed Jason !!

jambo_game_kill15 February 2010

when will this be on iTunes

Davy Boy15 February 2010

I loved the edgy feel to it, didn't feel manufactured but an honest roots grown video. But to rip the story line apart... she hangs around his bar, and sits and stands around the skate park where he rides etc... She didn't need to be impressed, she already fancied Harmar, and was just playing hard to get!

Matthew15 February 2010

Loved it. Worked really really well. Full of original ideas. It's a shame the musician didn't arrive n time.

William H-T15 February 2010

Great. Loved Suzi's but I think the judges got it wrong the imagination of Jason's vid made it so much more better.

steve15 February 2010

Jason's vid - v funny, winner imho

reborn[Z]15 February 2010

Wow awesome vid Jason! Suzy's was definatly more proffesional but I liked yours more.

siddique hussain15 February 2010

What a great outcome from just off the shelf kit and some tips from the internet. Great Jason.

langyd15 February 2010

This video should have won as it was great for the resources used.

DokuganRyu15 February 2010

Both were great vids. However Jason's looked the best.

Peter15 February 2010

Should have won! Really funny and original

-Alien-15 February 2010

Suzi's all the dosh, all too posh, too high end like so many pop videos, Jason considering the buget, was ecellent, funny and showed what can be done. \judges reprosenting the industry so will go for what it knows, money talks....... -Alien- were out there.

box boy15 February 2010

jason nice to see the influences of the old school style vibe lives on dude.too much slickness over substance these days. you won hands down.

Joe 15 February 2010

i thought that they were both brill. but the one i liked the most was Suzi's one because i like that band and all the gadgets Suzi used were brill.

Collinsmonster15 February 2010

Well done Jason, I think that in the circumstances you did a better job. I was impressed with Suzi's vid, but how much of that was down to her direction? How much 'assistance' did she get from the professionals she worked with. I think the naturalistic look of Jason's video worked really well with his idea and the video would have looked wrong with the professional sheen given to Suzi's. With a bit of help from some pros (art direction, camera, lighting etc) I think Jason would have won.

box boy15 February 2010

jason nice to see the influences of the old school style vibe lives on dude.too much slickness over substance these days. you won hands down.

Tom15 February 2010

Jason Man your video was miles better you was robbed, Suzi's was just a ripoff of Reef.

chris15 February 2010

i think its great what skatepark did you use

Alex-Dad15 February 2010

Great video - you were robbed!!! I thought the skycam shots won it but I'm biased as the eight year old pilot was my son!! :-)

Iain Clark15 February 2010

Jase, what a fantastic video!! You were so robbed. There's a lot more to creating a great video than slick cameras. Your video was full of creativity and life. Rock on....

Big Shug15 February 2010

Beastie Boys meets The Streets 8/10 Jason

Lycrarob15 February 2010

Jason this is great. This was real, great story line, and engaging.

Ivan Leah15 February 2010

both music vids were great - would be cool to Jason's music vid produced with Suzi's pro kit and editor! The feature was very cool, top end!

Peter Clumpy15 February 2010

Jason's vid has to be the winner hands down. Excellent humour, great story, and very clever use of high street tech. It left me with a huge grin on my face

Andy Murray15 February 2010

If you liked that, you might be interested so see the video we shot over Christmas,using online contributions. All the UK (& Japan!) stuff was shot on stills or phone cameras. The video for 'Something For The Weekend' is at http://tinyurl.com/SASweekend and our website is at http://www.stiffallstars.com Cheers, Andy

Phil Church15 February 2010

I laughed all the way through! Superb Jason, just superb!

Amy15 February 2010

Jason your vid is really cool, interesting and has loads of inventive shots! Would love to see more vids like this on TV!

John15 February 2010

Jason your video rocks and should have won the challenge, especially when you consider the low tech self edited aspects. It showed great imagination and gave life to a fairly mediocre song. Suzies was good but had that mass produced performance video look which is impressive technically but not that memorable (Sorry Suzie)

Simon15 February 2010

Super Kool Video Jason......

Da16 February 2010

Jasons video was definately the most fun to watch

Stuart Morton 16 February 2010

Jase you soo should of won

James Bancroft16 February 2010

This is amazing. It made me want to go and do a film just like this and only with consumer stuff. Imagine if he had been given the proffesional tech......

Chappers2716 February 2010

what is the song called it's a tuune

Lee Fuller16 February 2010

For a video shot using high-street equipment and technology, this is brilliant. The use of the helicopter was a good touch as well, personally I feel this video should of won, because it is different than everything else, rather than the staged, typical performance video, of Fightstar. But saying that, the reasons given for Suzi winning were fair, if this was re-shot using professional equipment, Suzi wouldn't of stood a chance. Better luck next time... thetutorialandreview.com

Ben Smith16 February 2010

Concur with everybody else here Jason, you were robbed mate. Suzi's was slick, but this was far more interesting. Nice work.

Ross Thompson16 February 2010

Awesome vid Jason. It's amazing what you accomplished in one day, especially since you had to fill in all of those roles. Personally, I would have done 3 things differently: - Some shots were stuttering. Was this intentional? Or am I wrong and I have a bad internet connection? - I would have the stunt guys trying to impress the girl still, but I would have them fall over and fail at first. As the video would progress, they would pull off their stunts better and he'd eventually pull the girl. - There was slightly too many shots of that ladies' bottom. Jason, you!

Brian Bicknell16 February 2010

I agree with the other guy's , you were robbed .. Suzi's had more of a proffesional feel , but your's was so different and fun..

Jack16 February 2010

Damn this skatepark looks sick! Where is it?

Ian16 February 2010

I think you did an outstanding job dude given the fact you did it all yourself (with a bit of help from some friends). I really enjoyed being taken through the story. Only thing I think it was missing was a close up of harmar as he walks out of the door with the girl - maybe giving a wee close up wink to the camera? Maverick performance!

L I AM16 February 2010

brilliant wiv what u can do with 1 camcorder and some imagination!

Clive16 February 2010

Wow...... Could do with a bit of tweeking. But excellant........

Carlybabes16 February 2010

a test of a good video is do you keep watching even if the song is not to your taste. in this case, Suzi's didn't keep me watching. its slick, but consumers have seen slick, polished, for years where as Jasons video is fun , keeps you watching. as others have said its got that viral video look... you want to see more

chris16 February 2010

put it on itunes!!!

Bizkit0716 February 2010

Both awesome vids,but must say Jason's creativity with consumer tech was the best....

A.S16 February 2010

Jason your video was by far best! I loved ya video! No affence to u Suzie,yours was so cool! I love The Gadget Show, I think its wiked! Now that I see all the cool teck u used, I so wanna buy all of it! (I wish I had that kind of money LOL) Love ya show guys, thanx bye. xx

soph16 February 2010

welldone jason nothing can beet the good highstreet stuff i thought it was fab but you could of do some thing with the makeup:)

gadgetlover12516 February 2010

cool vid man love it!, a vid where us tenns can watch and think cool

gadgetlover12516 February 2010

i mean teens

Josh 16 February 2010

Great video. this should of won hardly a fair challenge, but this is still an amazing video.

Ian Ashley16 February 2010

Jason it was even better watching it in full

Derek S-H17 February 2010

This wasn't really a contest as such - the music industry prides itself on its creativity and originality, but most music videos are predictable and generic beyond words. Suzi was always going to win because music industry bods will look for a common language and cues that they recognise: polished, professional, bland. I think the result kind of sums it all up: presentation is more important than style, content, ideas or originality. But well done Suzi anyway.

Angela Brooker17 February 2010

Jason, i found your video the most interesting to watch, great location, cool camera angles and a story, i love music videos with a story. Suzi's was good but lacked originality, i've seen so many rock videos shot in a warehouse. You should of won!!!!

Joza17 February 2010

No way suzi should of won You done miles betta!!!!

Greggers17 February 2010

Wicked video, cool tricks, awesome stunts, nice butt, shame about the tune, the only thing letting it down.

Dylan17 February 2010

It was great better then great amazing i love the stunts and you did it with stuff you can get from the high street

djcalzar17 February 2010

Actually fair play to both Jason & Suzy both videos should have won. I loved the viral look of this and just shows what you can do without using 10K's worth of kit. was less impressed by Microsoft trying to mark this page as unsafe to view lol

Gwordon Brown17 February 2010

Jason U RoK! McFly would spend zillions to get the same result - and they would employ some high-end director with bleeding edge tech... and a real helicopter to justify his production budget... BTW Do you think Harmar looks a lot like Ron Jeremy? Maybe that's why he missed the shoot? Best Music Video of the Week

Mikey_Co17 February 2010

Suzi's looked just like a professional video, was expertly and slickly made...and a bit boring if you didn't like the song or band. Jason's was rough and ready, but much more engaging, and in a world when bands can launch themselves via YouTube or MySpace, perfect for attracting attention! I loved the slow motion sections, and the aerial shots worked really well too!

JimDonnelly18 February 2010

Fantastic Video Jason. well paced, fun and retro kept me engaged right to the credits, brought me back to the early days of music videos and i think you might need to thank " A E I O U" by Freeze for some influence in your styling, I used to make short films in the 90`s and this has reminded me that you don`t need a big budget or a cast of thousands just the ability to turn a problem into a challenge, an accident/mistake into a feature and over all a sense of humor, shine on jay you crazy diamond......

SamTana18 February 2010

+1 to Mikey_Co above. "Suzy's" vid (I wonder how much input she really had) was polished but predictable and cliched. Jason's had his fingerprints all over it, was packed with invention, cost nowt and was a clear winner. Bob on!

Steve Mac18 February 2010

A really entertaining video, not like all the other over polished stuff with no imagination! (Sorry Suzie) The xsperts went for the typical run-off-the-mill production... but... if this is what you do with a small budget, let's see what you can do with the extra benefit next time?!

Soddy19 February 2010

ace so mentaly funny & abit strange bit like jason

john19 February 2010

i loved tht vid u should of defintly won in my eyes its funny and suzz hardley done anything

Floating Upside Down in Jello19 February 2010

Third time I seen both videos this week. Fightstar is looking so yesterday but Hamar is a real grower! Unleash it on UTube and see how many hits it gets? Jason U Da Boss

Andy19 February 2010

Jason I though your vid was amazing..... factoring in that it was all done using Tech available to everyone..... cracking job..... looked professionally filmed to look rough.... love it.

Andy20 February 2010

Nice one Jason! The video is entertaining in it own right and a result you might get into the music of Harmar Superstar. With Suzie's video you probably need to be into Fight Star to appreciate the glossy well made video.

Morgan_Elliott20 February 2010

This video was WAY better than Suzie's. Really entertaining !

torchy201020 February 2010

Jason has done a cracking job of this video, and he has shown me some ways to improve mine Ta.

Tyran20 February 2010

Out of the two I felt Jason's had the edge, Suzie's looked amazing but I felt Jason's was a real attempt to do some different and tell a story. Great stuff! And the use of the model chopper was inspired! Trying to convince my better half that I need one now :)

djalice20 February 2010

Sorry, Suzi baby but Jason's vid is way better. What were those guy's thinking! Jason's had a narrative, ideas and humor. Suzi's was just a a band shoot with no ideas at all. People do seem to be increasingly more impressed with production values than ideas now. The amount of tweenagers I hear cooing over lame overdone effects in movies etc. Let's get back to ideas in art! Kudos to Har Mar for using the word 'soliloquy' in a song too.

AVIT20 February 2010

avit love the vid

Matthew Goldsmith20 February 2010

I prefer your video to Suzi's. your video was down to earth which is how i like it, Suzi's video was too poncy, So well done to the gadget show for another great challenge, can't wait for the next.

ben longdon20 February 2010

i loved this video even though i am a massive fightstar fan but i preffered this video because it has alot more going on and alot better coriographed and the two different locations ties in the video loved it

Amir khan21 February 2010

suzi your viedo would win any film festival but jasons viedo is a lot cooler

CJ12321 February 2010

Can anyone tell me what sunglasses are used in the music video? been trying to find them

John Millar23 February 2010

Awesome! Excellent video Jason. Looks great, involving and interesting, couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Great shots, and brilliant editting. Truly inspirational, nice work.

Kathryn24 February 2010

Sorry Jason but Suzi has the best video, but by far the best song and Fightstar turned up too.

TKD10128 February 2010

JASONS MUSIC VIDEO WAS A LOT OF FUN TO WATCH

Imran khan01 May 2010

Sick video, by any chance Jason can u get me that girl's number.
