Some may be fans, some may be video production companies that are looking to boost their credentials a little further, and some might be people that frequent the genero.tv community and thought that it would be a fun project to do.

Loved it. This would be my pick for a winner if I had a say.
Didn't watch them all myself but watched that one just now and really liked it too. Nice timing to the music, sections of the song, creative.

Yup. The band's name is wrong at the very beginning. :rolleyes

That's what you get when you have video done by random amateurs.
Another photobucket casualty... :(

I liked the whole Kaiju vs Jaeger set in mythical times element to the video! Very clever

not my favorite of the bunch, but hey, whatever. guess the band isn't doing a video like they said in their interviews after all. :(

I appreciate the attempt... but like 'Lover' the song deserved better imo.

This is why I wish AB would just do these themselves.

It was either this approach or they do some sort of lame performance video. I want a better video for this song, as well, but it's just not meant to be with the circumstances given.

The vid is really nice, if you do not think of it ads of an AB video.

The name could be like that because of a possible copyright or smth I figure?

Anyhow, I am dying to see a full-on video with the band, but not performing on stage onlym but also acting. ACTING.


FUCKING ACTING.

That's not what we are getting ever anyway I think

Hmm... Well, I don´t like that kind of animation. In general. Even so there are some bright moments. IMO all that thing doesn´t fit too much to this great song

Well, the video is cool, but it's more appropriate for bands like Tenacious D or Steel Panther. I'd like to see something more serious when it comes to AB.
