I have a screenplay written for Crush on You. Also for “I Do Believe”.

Tough question..... but perhaps IMHBL...

I also had an idea for “I Do Believe”. It ended up being sort of a cross between “Wish I Could Fly” and “A Thing About You”. Very cool.

Taken from that another thread:

Well, Here is my description for “Cooper” video:
It would be situated around 1890, so all the objects would fit to that epoch. The phrases in parenthesis are the lyrics where the following descriptions starts.

(introduction, before the music really starts) Marie is wearing a very long dress. She drives a car and stops at the entrance of a big mansion(that she never saw before), to get sheltered from the storm that is about to come.
(the music begins) Marie enters at the big mansion where she founds a big hall. She’s kinda scared, cause the space is a little dark. Then she approaches at the wall where she watches five pictures of young women. Per is watching her from the top of the stairs, without her knowing.
(cooper went out...)Marie looks at him, a little scared.
(latest night...) Per begins to descend the stairs, and stay at her side, watching that pictures, too.
(cooper went out, walk in...) they start to walk. Per show her very beautiful places through the mansion.
(cooper went out, 3 o’clock...) Now they are at another room, where Per give her a gourgeous dress. Marie gets more and more involved by Per’s gentleness, that’s why she begins to sing with him “someone sad, they saw...”
(cooper went out, that’s all there is...) Marie is now dressed with her new dress, and very happy, watching herself at a big mirror.
(and there’s a voice...) Now Per and Marie begins to descend the stairs, each one in a different stair. The stairs are located at a very big hall. When they get at the floor...
(instrumental...) They start to dance waltz (well, not exactly waltz, but that first dance on Alanis Morissette’s “So Pure” video...), and in a good way! At the end at this instrumental part, the camera closes at Marie’s face, showing her completely involved by Per’s gentleness.
(and there’s a sound...) Per takes a picture of Marie...
(give me the number...) Per and Marie are eating dinner. She’s completely delighted.
(and may I ask...) Per leads Marie to a bedroom, where she will sleep for that night. Let me let it clear: only Marie enters the bedroom!
(when the other instrumental starts) The time passes away. The camera shows the beginning of a new day. Marie’s car is still at the mansion entrance.
(instrumental part at 03:35) Marie’s bedroom door is opened. She’s not there!
(instrumental part at 03:41) The time passes away. Another girl arrives at the mansion.
(Marie singing “may I ask who’s calling”...) The girl enters the big hall as Marie did (she’s scared, too).
(Marie singing “may I ask who’s calling” for the second time...) She begins to watch that women pictures, too. The camera shows every picture in a slow and continuous way.
(instrumental at 04:06) Per is watching her from the top of the stairs, too! Following, the camera gets a close of the girl’s face, while she’s watching that pictures.
(instrumental part, until the end) The camera remains showing the pictures. And it stops at the last one. Guess what! It’s Marie’s picture! (it’s the last picture that Per’s character grabbed to its dress-weared-women collection!) The image fades out until the end.

Neverending love video... it’s an 80’s video. It wasn’t only Sweden, it was all around... :s

FADING LIKE A FLOWER => so i would be a part of the “making joyride”-documentary ;-))

i love the how do you do-video: summer, all so easygoing & funny

@ alexandre: Marie drives a car around 1890? great, she would have been one of the 3 first women driving a car ever ;-)

alexandre100 said on May 27, 2006 22:27:

@pardek

I was just waiting for someone to say that... sorry for my lack of information based in history...

Maybe she could arrive at the mansion riding a bicycle, or a ballon, or a carriage, or a chariot... ;-)

Both videos for Neverending Love are unintentionally hilarious, especially when you watch them during a sleepover on the wrong end of a bottle of wine.

My video idea for it may be a bit rubbish- I dreamt about it, woke up at half 2 in the morning, scrabbled around for paper (I keep a notebook by my bed as I write shedloads of stuff), and srawled something down then passed out again. When I woke up the next morning I read it and it made little sense, but ebentually we worked out what the hell I had written

Anyway my video plan-

Music starts and we fade up to a high school (not a Catholic one, I hasten to add!). P and M are emptying stuff into seperate lockers lockers. Their groups of friends appear, and P is dragged off, but not before he and M share a glimpse with each other

1st verse-Marie shuts the locker and leans against it and sings her bits while her friends talk animatedly around her. Cuts to P walking to class while his friends are yapping away

Chorus- Split screen as they both sit in class, both bored witless, Marie on left, Per on the right. P is in a science class, and the thing he’s pouring chemicals into blows up in his pface covering him in soot. Marie turns as if she hear this and giggles. It cuts to her being shouted at by the teacher and being sent out.

2nd verse-Marie is outside looking pissed off, Per walks past her, they stop and nervously laugh as they see each other. P then walks off and into the bathroom, and we see him rinse the soot off. Marie looks round towards the door after him during the last ’It’s you that I long for...’

Chorus-Lunchtime, Marie is sitting on her own in the cafeteria eating a sandwich, Per comes and sits with with her on the first ’neverending love’ bit. They smile and appear to have a conversation with each other by singing the last bit of the chorus. The shots cut between each other (’The fever turned slowly/into a fire’) etc.

Instrumental break, the clock that says 4 turns to 9, and we cut to a night club. P and M who are on the other sides of the room walk towards the dancefloor. The people in the club all go into 2 lines and do, um (You know the recent film version of Pride And Prejudice, where Matthew Macfadyen and Kiera Knightly dance together in that huge hall with loads of other people, and it ends up with them dancing alone? I want them to do something like that, but in modern clothes) P an M join in in time for the last chorus

Chorus-They continue to dance, both laughing and joking, getting closer and closer to each other. When M belts out the first really loud ’We dance in the moonlight’, Per leans in to whisper something in her ear, Marie smirks, and pulls him out of theP andP dance, and together they run out of the club into the snow, both slip over on ice, laugh and start to have a snowball fight as the music fades

Ok i admit it’s probably rubbish for a video idea, but it was only a garbled dream, so forgive me please! My dreams are wierd anyway-I dreamt Morrissey fell out of a cardboard box in my room in another one. No idea why...

I think it’s the monkey thing- tad offputting. OK, I admit my video idea is rubbish, but I’m ill, and I needed cheering up-flu in the middle of summer is not fun!!!!

@whateveriam: “....on the wrong end of a bottle of wine”

What do you consider to be the wrong end;)

When it is empty or still full?

For “Place Your Love” video, I imagine it like a animation, in a A-Ha’s “Take On Me” style... :-P
