^ I only recognize a handful of people on that list...

glad she got nominated! [=

On the contrary...

This video's art direction was absolutely spectacular, and one of the best things about the video. The Direction was horrible, yes, but they're two entirely different things.

The art director decides on things like color choices, color changes, video effects (not those in the realm of editing, but things like "let's make it less saturated" or "let's give it a dreamy quality"), and the overall "look" of the video. The director decides things like camera placement, how people move, and often the concept. The director says "let's give this a worms-eye view" or "i want you to walk quickly, like you're in a hurry" or "this is gonna be filmed from Ayu's POV." Not at ALL what the video is nominated for.

The art direction in "GREEN" was fabulous. The art director decided ayu's clothes should go from White to Red, that the outdoor scenes should be more brown, that the Red colored things outside should be brighter than everything else, that the pink backdrop on the stage should be purple when she's up there. Things like that. That stuff was the high point of "GREEN". The color choices alone warrant a full interpretation discussion. The video might not win this award, but from a filmmaking standpoint, the art direction was VERY strong in "GREEN".

hope the best for ayu

Ah, my bad for mixing up filming terms! Well, in that case, I hope GREEN will never get nominated for 'Best Director' award or something like that! :mischief

Thanks for information.
I hope she will win.

She'll most likely win it...being so extravagant and expensive. I don't think a single PV mentioned besides hers could top it in terms of aesthetics. Mr.Children would most likely win this award after her.

Yaay, really like the GREEN PV :)

But i have to ask, what's wrong with the director? xD

GREEN is the best PV out of this year, (even though its boring, but better than MW), so i guess.... it deserved it? congrat ayu <3

woow thanks!! :D

i hope that ayu wins ^^

I hope she will win! ^^

deserved... ^^

Well for the first time I can say I hope she looses. She needs to realise that the PV to GREEN was awful and to never use Kazuwhateverhisnameis again because he is BALLS

how...? the PV was not that great at all. >.<

OOo yea..i agree about the art direction..the thought in it is very nice

Ooooh thats excellent! ^^

Great news^^

Yes, this PV definitely deserves an award for ART DIRECTION. It's beautiful. =)

Anybody know who the art director was? Or was it whatshisface.

WOW~!!I am happy for GREEN, this song is great!!^^

Yeah! for Ayu!!!

GREEN is a very good masterpiece video

I hope she will win!!!
