Weezer - El Scorcho

dotdudesays...

This is a Mark Romanek music video. It is one of the music videos featured on “The Work of Director Mark Romanek” DVD.

What’s different about this video from the other Mark Romanek music videos is that Weezer and Romanek fought during the shoot. In all the other interviews on the DVD, bands gushed about what great friends they’d become with Romanek. Many of them put their trust in his vision and were very happy with the results.

Also, interesting is the little joke Romanek threw in: a florescent sign “weerez”, instead of “weezer.” The band later ended up doing t-shirts with the misspelling.

You have seen many of Romanek music videos. Wikipedia has a thorough list.

Weezer recut the vid themselves and Romanek took his name off it. Eventually they came around to digging the vid and preferring the original to their own cut. I think Romanek got himself into trouble for being too eclectic. He was famous for doing NiN's 'Closer' vid, so perhaps Weezer expected something more aesthetically similar.
