Blur - Song 2

Details

Description

Original video for Blur's Song 2.
This video was the first version of the music video to be uploaded to YouTube in 2006.

This music video was originally shot in an apartment building on the northwest corner of State Street and Chicago Ave in Chicago, IL in October of 2003 by video makers Mark Sansone and Matt Cunningham. They were experimenting with slow motion effects and chose this song for its shorter length and intensity. The original footage can be seen here: https://youtu.be/r73jIv7obfg (Sansone can be heard behind the camera at the end of this footage).
Sansone and Cunningham attended Columbia College Chicago's film program. They went on to produce other successes, most notably: https://youtu.be/baMRDq1SpOA
