What I Thought Of You - Holly Throsby



Love is no respecter of age or practicality
Neither morality: unabashed
She enters where she will
Unheeding that her immortal fires
Burn up human hearts...
~Phillip Pulfrey

This is the official video for 'What I Thought Of You', the first song on Holly Throsby's album Team. This video was directed by Yanni Kronenberg & is a worldwide Super 8 collaboration - filmed by 20 people, between 1974-2011, in Australia, America, Canada, The United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Greece, Iceland, Ukraine, Sweden and Brazil.

It happened like this: Yanni & Holly searched day & night on vimeo to find beautiful Super 8 footage. Then all the film makers were contacted & generously allowed them to use tiny pieces of their wonderful short films and home movies. They also asked on twitter if people could send them Super 8 footage in the mail, and home movies from 35 years ago arrived in Holly's post box. Then, out of all of that, Yanni made this video.

It's gorgeous. Through and through.
