From the Innocence mailing list:
Hello,
video uploads are going well.
Please do not do multiple uploads of the same video. It is an useless
excercise
We had word from One Little Indian regarding the switching of the date
of submission to 10th of June.
Here it is:
"
Dear MWC
I am very sorry that some people have been upset and frustrated that
the video delivery date for the "Innocence" single video competition
was moved forward, and I think that we should let people know that it
was my fault - and not Björk's.
I did not mean to be disrespectful to any of the entrants - and I
wanted to let them know why the change occurred.
We had intended to shoot a video for "Declare Independence" with
Michele Gondry this week in London for the release of the single on
2nd July.
This all had to change because we were not prepared for how well the
Volta album has been performing.
The album entered the top ten in the charts all over the world, and
consequently the international promotion work has become so hectic,
that we had to use the time set aside for shooting the "Declare
Independence" video, to fulfill all the promo work that Björk needed
to do - and we had to reschedule the video shoot for august.
I suggested to bjork that we move the "Innocence" single release
forward into the original "Declare Independence" slot on 2nd July -
and she agreed that I could approach all the video competition
entrants, to see if they could deliver their work 2/3 weeks earlier
than anticipated
I did not mean to be disrespectful to the creative process - but was
hoping that people could submit their works in progress, to enable us
to speed up the selection process.
People should send in whatrever they have prepared at this stage -
even if it is only storyboards etc - who knows what Björk will be
inspired by !.
Please pass on my apologies to everyone involved.
Derek
