Update: NOW STREAMING / Hold My Hand - the video (discussion)

this video made me cry. so beautiful...

I wish Michael was here...
 
Here's something and I hope I get this across. This is for the fans, for each and every one who loves Michael.

If you noticed, the director opened the scene with fans. Not payed dancers. These are fans. Extras. Not people who's "job" it is to do this. The opening are fans only. Fans like and me on this board.

This was the last scene that was shot for this video that day. The last scene- and it opens this video. Mark Pellington did this opening for the fans and for nobody else.

This was shot minutes before the sun went down. We held balllons and we yelled at the top of our lungs "We love you, Michael."

This shot represents each and every fan- that is why FANS open that video, and Michael, he ends it.

Okay, I am crying some more.
 
Maybe the flower imagery represents Michael himself...

Ooh, I like that idea, that the person walking over the star is MJ.

Lots of hearts and lights in this too.

I have now seen it 3 times. And it groves on me.

At first I really didn't like it, now it's better.

I still think the clips are way too fast.

Yeh i agree its great the used fans in it as it makes the video more special.
 
In this video, I see love everywhere, and Michael everywhere. The message is loud and clear. Great job! Kudos to Akon, Director and the production team, and most importantly to all the fans there.

BTW, the main shooting location is the marine corps in Tustin, CA. Not far from where I live. It is...huge, just like Michael :) From now on, whenever I drive past it, I will spend a few good seconds staring at it. Hopefully I won't get a ticket.

Sorry to say this - but worst video ever...

The clips are so fast I got dizzy and nausea.

If you have epilepsy this video would be very very bad for you.

If the clips had not been so D#¤" fast it would have been soo much better.

OMG, thank you! Finally, I was so scared I was the only one who thought this! And of course it is you, my Hess. We tend to agree on a lot! :punk:

Definitely went bad in the cutting room. The video has a nice pace in the middle at one point, but then it goes crazy again. I did not enjoy the video.

:D I am glad I'm not the only one. And yes, we do agree on a lot. :clapping:

I don't see any reason why the cuts have to be so fast, I mean it's a midtempo song.

BUT - hopefully it will help boost sales of HMH single and Michael.
 
i cannot stop crying now :cry: :cry: it hurts me, why? why? why?

video is very beautiful.. i wish it could be a little bit slower but i loved it...

it is full of L.O.V.E. , especially fans

at the end of the video, Michael's face made me over cry and cry and cry... :cry: :cry:

i miss you Michael, miss you so much.

i know "you are forever" and "we are forever"...

i love you Michael more and most and unconditionally from the bottom of my heart...

no words can describe how i feel now, just Speechless...

with L.O.V.E.
 
Absolutely LOVE it but finding it hard to hold back the tears. I miss you Michael. :angel:

Truth. Let's hope it does its job, and promotes the EFF outta Michael! :clapping:

Just watched it a few times more - and it's not HORRIBLE. I just don't LOVE it, like I expected to. Maybe we should do a 'Hess and BjoernClausen' cut, with the pacing shut down a little, lol :tease:

I also liked it a little better when I saw it a few times more, but it will never be a video I'll watch on YT or anything.

WE really SHOULD do that! - Get the the tempo of the clips down so it fits the rhytm and the song.
 
Very nice tribute of people showing love for Michael, and holding hands. Made me tear up. :cry: I liked the imagery, but I'll probably have to watch it again to catch it all. Only thing I didn't like is that there was too much of Akon. I rather wish he wasn't in the video, and there were more images of Michael instead. It kinda ruined the atmosphere a bit IMO.

Husshhhhh your mouth *slaps hands as well like a teacher disciplinin' an energetic child and puts the glasses back on after givin' him/her a look from the neverrrrdodatagain department* J/K :p

There can never be enough Akon, that man rules. He's amazing, love the guy. God bless him, God bless him abundantly.

OMG, I'm crying. So beautiful! The director and everyone did a great job!

Had no idea it was supposed to be online when it was. I can be sooooo dense @ times :doh: should've known.

I watched it at work three times in a row and was ballin'. I hadd to stop cause people were comin' in the office and stuff, and my business suit clad self can't lose her composure in front of so many, that ain't cool.

I like it.

Thank you to all who participated in it.

Thank you, Michael.

Indeed - thanks to all - Akon, Mark Pellington, all the people involved *winks at Pace*, people involved in pre and post-production, technical team, everybody.....:bow: and :clapping:

And last, but most certainly not least.....THANK YOUUU MICHAEL. Love you baby with all my heart and soul - now and always.

Oh my goodness, this picture of Michael in the video!

Great find. Thank you, i noticed it the first time around. Very, very sweet :wub:

some of cuts too quick

Some are, but that's alright though. LOOL @ ur username and signature, good one :cheeky:

Glad you did. Interesting. :)

At 0.54, isn't that all he sees after Siedah disapears abruptly (her spot suddenly goes black) while singing I Just Can't Stop Loving You, and he is left standing there with her being "out of his life?"

You could very well be right queenie :) Need to check that particular performance again, but i think it is interesting he's lookin' towards a light.

I think it might represent how people stepped on MJ while he was alive, ie treated him badly. I think it was a flower that fell in the water, maybe a daisy?

Lots of stars and crowns in the vid.

Preach it. It still boggles the mind how vicious people have been to such a beautiful man, it boggles the mind and breaks the heart.

Maybe the flower imagery represents Michael himself...

Ooh, I like that idea, that the person walking over the star is MJ.

Lots of hearts and lights in this too.

I loooove your interpretation. I agree, lots of hearts and lots of light in this vid and lots of roses as well :giggle:

:punk: Got that right. LOL @ ur future drivin' habits, do take care. You don't wanna pull a speed demon and have the officer say 'pull over boy/girl and get ur ticket riiiiiight' :lol:

Of courrrse Michael is huge, in more ways than one 2 *thinks of MITM girls and can't help but smile*.



The video really is absolutely brilliant. It falls perfectly into that category i love sooo much of usin' common folk for great, deep songs Superman tonight from Bon Jovi, RCHP Snow, Ugly from my gals the Sugababes come to mind and many, many others in that same vein.

I also love the concert footage of Michael, that beautiful hand of his with the ring, the live performances from Bucharest, everything. It actually has one of my favorites moments ever - that air fist bump. For more than a year they have played on tele among many others vids a montage of the Bucharest 92 concert for Cheater and whenever that moment from the end of BoW came, i would instinctively bump fists in the air with him juusst at the right time :giggle: silly, i know, but then again that would be one of my maaany definitions.

Whenever the man with the tree behind him and the affected arm comes along, i just lose it. All of the images - the children, the couples, the dancing, all of it - are awesome. The vid is simply beautiful and touching and inspirational, just as expected from the preview. Actually more.......didn't think i could love this song any more than i already did, but looks like i was wrong, for once..... :D
 
Beautiful video... Makes me want to cry.
