Music News - Flying Nun Presents First DVD

Flying Nun Presents First DVD

27 April 2004 - 0 Comments

This year, Flying Nun presents its very first DVD titled, 'Very Short Films' cited for release on May 10th, 2004. It contains a mammoth 41 videos produced for Flying Nun Records artists from 2004 back to 1981. The total running time has been pegged at around two and half hours, which is feature length in the film world.

A lot of the video films feature the bands ‘performing’ direct to camera (with and without makeup), several of them have driving motifs, and plenty of ‘em were made with extremely limited resources. Despite all this, the creativity and ingenuity on display is incredible and demonstrates a healthy progression of video-making in New Zealand over the last twenty odd years.

All the fun times are captured and presented in a user friendly chronological format and our test audiences have found the cameo-spotting to be an excellent source of enjoyment – not to mention the memories that were evoked upon viewing some of the rarer material.

We could go on about the 4:3 aspect ratio, the all regions PAL format, the Dolby 2.0 stereo sound, but the exciting stuff is actually finding out what we have included, so here it is:
