Posted October 12, 20222 yr It looks like they will be releasing an alternative video for Spice Up You Life tomorrow :o q6LExaHSOOU
October 12, 20222 yr The alternate version possiblities are endless as it was filmed on green screen and if they have the green screen footage they could add any back drop. We might get a colourful SUYL video.
October 12, 20222 yr Author The alternate version possiblities are endless as it was filmed on green screen and if they have the green screen footage they could add any back drop. We might get a colourful SUYL video. This is what I am hoping for, but I hope it is well made... I kind of lost faith with this campaign already :blink:
October 12, 20222 yr This is what I am hoping for, but I hope it is well made... I kind of lost faith with this campaign already :blink: Pretty sure it was done by the same guy who did Step to me lyric video, he told me he was doing more work for them.
October 13, 20222 yr Author OMG The video is amazing!! And I actually quite like some of the new Spice Up Your Life merch :P You can also now BUY the new SUYL video on iTunes: https://music.apple.com/gb/music-video/spic...sion/1649531540
October 13, 20222 yr The alternative video is instantly my favourite thing about this era so far! :wub: Really incredible to see so much unseen footage. It’s really nicely colour graded, it feels modern! Overall it gives off a different vibe to the original classic video, which makes it a very worthwhile addition. Really appreciative that they went to the extra effort of making this alternative video. If it was a repeat of the Spice 25 era we’d have just got 30 seconds of raw footage shared on social media and that would have been it. I’m so glad they got the guy on board who was behind all the Steps remasters. (Sorry I forgot his name). This & the Step to Me lyric video shows that if you have somebody working on content who is genuinely passionate about them, then you get fantastic results!
October 13, 20222 yr That's nice - is it something from the vault or something they made out of the footage now? It looks like something that'd be used for backing screens during performances.
October 13, 20222 yr That Spice Up Your Life alternative vid was such a treat. Forever the best Spice Girls song :wub:
October 13, 20222 yr I felt like this new video deserved it's own topic, so here we go! That's nice - is it something from the vault or something they made out of the footage now? It looks like something that'd be used for backing screens during performances. Here's what their mailer said! - To celebrate spicing up your life for 25 years, we’ve created a brand-new 2022 version of the ‘Spice Up Your Life’ video from B-roll and unseen footage from the original video shoot in New York. We hope you enjoy this new take on one of our favourite videos!
October 13, 20222 yr Love the new video, the girls look amazing which is so hidden in the first video. Mel B in particular looks incredible. So nice to see some colour in a video for SUYL.
October 13, 20222 yr While I prefer the original video it is nice to have this alternative one too and it is super cute! I noticed so much more in it like never realised Mel B was wearing Tiger boots or that Emma's nails were the same colour as her eye shadow.
October 13, 20222 yr I love it so much :heart: Watched it three times now! Like Spiceboy says, some details in their looks I hadn't picked up on before. A few things though - do we think Geri was never filmed miming "Flamenco"? In the original video there isn't a scene of her doing that, and now there isn't in this alternative version either. How curious if she didn't. What rushes across the screen at 2:30? Is it meant to be debris? I also wonder why they chose to mirror the footage of them together in the ship? It's evident with Melanie C's tattoos appearing to be on the wrong arm. I did think on my first viewing that something felt slightly off about these scenes. Could it be that they didn't notice that it wasn't the right way round? This screen cap from the alternative video: Should really be like this... A friend pointed out that it might be mirrored so that when they're shown to be moving the controls during "slamming to the left" & "shaking to the right", they're going left and then right from the perspective of the viewer. Still, I think I'd have preferred it unmirrored. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I wish it was a possibility for the original music video to be reworked on and released again in true 4K, because the alternative version shows that footage exists in very high quality. The upload for the original video is definitely only upgraded to 4K through AI software - they sometimes look smoothed out / odd. I suppose it would require a lot of work and expense to create it again from scratch. But as you can see from the alternative version video, they look so much better in it than this...
October 13, 20222 yr Yeah I'm pretty sure it is mirrored so the left and right go the way the viewer sees them.
October 13, 20222 yr I was not expecting this. I just played it and I think it's a treat! It adds so much COLOUR that the original was missing -- I absolutely prefer this one to the original video. The girls are shown so much more clearly, the colours bring some party vibes to the video, and they ALL look so darn happy together. I wish they could rekindle that magic.
