El Scorcho: Difference between revisions

Cuomo felt very strongly about keeping his videos gimmick-free during the promotion for Pinkerton. His reaction to the huge success of the [[Buddy Holly]] music video was one of fear that people loved the geeky gimmicks of the video, and weren't appreciating his songwriting. He wanted El Scorcho to be very straight-forward. During the editing of the video for El Scorcho, Cuomo and the director, [[Mark Romanek]], got into a disagreement about the way the video was to be made, which led to Romanek removing his name from the directing credit. Two verisions came out of this dispute, a "Director's Cut" edition (Romanek's version) and a second which probably had Cuomo as its main director. The "Director's Cut" version is shown below.
