ARCTIC MONKEYS - Crying Lightning from Framestore design on Vimeo.
This video, aswell as the song, is quite dark and mysterious.
The mise en scene is very ominous and and dark, and quite descolate. ALso quite cool and spooky with them all playing in this huddled little boat with lights for a sial and the microphone stand like the maiden head along with the fact that they can stand up totaly fine in this tiny little boat that looks like it will tip over at certain points. Pretty cool. The camra work is nothing particularly that special how ever it still works really well, especially the swooping over the water shot at the beggining, of course this whole video was done on green screen also so there were a lot of clever angles they could have achieved.
The music video for the single debuted on Channel 4 in UK on 24 July 2009.
The music video, directed by Richard Ayoade (who worked with the band previously on the video for "Fluorescent Adolescent", as well as their "At the Apollo" live DVD), shows the band performing the song on a boat on a rough sea. During a short instrumental interlude, a large figure rises up from the sea in the form of frontman, Turner. He falls to his knees where the boat passes between his legs before the other three band members (Cook, Helders and O'Malley) also rise up out from the water.
Richard Ayoade also Directed Arctic Monkeys Live At The Apollo DVD.
