| A foreword: this clip seems to have something to do with the song with same name by the Mansun, featured on their album Ten. Since the music is by Bernard Herrmann, UPDATE. A reader wrote in: “The visuals of this short film were originally used in a music video for the British band Mansun. But, while editing the video, Thraves was also listening to the Vertigo soundtrack and felt that the music worked well with his visuals. He put them together and wound up with Negative.” The movie is about a couple of lovers that is unsuspectingly under the close (literally!) attentions of a voyeur. Stylish, surreal, the short stay on the thin line between parody and hommage. And dances tip tap on it. The movie, produced by Oil Factory, has been written and directed by Jamie Thraves, currently signed to Oil Factory and Factory Films. Jamie Thraves began his career in directing in the early nineties. He graduated from Hull Polytechnic in 1991. He then went on to further education at The Royal College of Art, where he received his Master of Arts in Film and Television, specializing in directing.

Premessa: questa clip sembra avere a che fare con la canzone omonima dei Mansun, inclusa nel loro album Ten. Giacché la musica è di Bernard Herrmann, UPDATE. Ci scrive un lettore: “le immagini del corto sono state in principio usate per un video della band britannica Mansun. Ma durante il montaggio, Thraves stava anche ascoltando la colonna sonora di Vertigo e si è accorto che la musica funzionava bene con le immagini. Le ha messe insieme e ne è nato Negative.” Il film è centrato su una coppia di amanti che non si accorge di essere sotto l’attenzione ravvicinata (!!!) di un guardone. Stiloso, surreale, il corto sta sulla linea sottile fra parodia ed omaggio. E ci balla sopra il tip tap. Il film, prodotto da Oil Factory, è stato scritto e diretto da Jamie Thraves, attualmente di casa presso Oil Factory e Factory Films. Jamie Thraves inizia la sua carriera di regista nei primi anni 90. Si laurea allo Hull Polytechnic nel 1991. Prosegue gli studi presso The Royal College of Art, dove consegue il Master of Arts in Film and Television, specializzandosi nella regia.

The visuals of this short film were originally used in a music video for the British band Mansun. But, while editing the video, Thraves was also listening to the “Vertigo” soundtrack and felt that the music worked well with his visuals. He put them together and wound up with “Negative”.
