Dynamite video

Post by nonpareil »

I've been fascinated with the video for Dynamite for a long time -- it feels like a trailer for a film you'd really love to see. I've trawled the web for more information about it, but have been unable to find much of anything. Does anyone here know anything about Stina's idea for the video, the story, etc? I've been trying to read the name of the book that someone takes from a shelf towards the end, but cannot see it since the quality of the YouTube video is quite poor. Well, anything you know or think would be welcome... Thanks!

Hi, welcome to the board. Feel free to ask any question you like. A lot of questions can be answered by the members here.

As for the Dynamite video, I don't have a lot of answers. I remember vaguely that Stina herself was heavily involved in the storyline of the video. It's not a trailer for some kind of movie, that's for sure.

I looked the video on a higher resolution for the booktitle but sadly I can't read it either.

It does seem that info on this video is extremely scarce. Its in a case like this that I miss the old CQD site where we could probably get our questions (in)directly answered.

I have the same feeling every time I watch this video. It's very disturbing - that's for sure! In the first time, I was sure it some kind of trailer...

By the way, correct me if I'm wrong but this clip takes place in mental hospital neat Stockholm, right?

I don't remember hearing that but it could well be true.
Just as an aside, Kate Bush directed one of her first promo films in a former mental institution in London for her single Experiment IV.

it's not the original track, it's the Soundtrack Mix as it appears in a limited edition (?) of the album as a bonus track. Anyone remembers what it refers to ?
