Rich Watson and Order – The New Goodbye music video

Order have delivered their video for Rich’s track now, and very nice it is too. Full of stop motion, HD goodness. The video is the result of an awful lot of painstaking location-based animation work, the bulk of which was undertaken at The Cube in East London. We owe a lot of thanks to Araceli there for allowing Order to use the space for such prolonged periods of time.

Thanks are also due to EBB Paper, who provided all the bright card you see shooting around the screen.

The video was conceived to work on both standard sized monitors and also the iPhone display The video embedded here is hosted on Order’s Vimeo channel, where you can see more of their work, including films for the Tate and Design Museum. It will also of course be included on the next update of The New Goodbye app, which will be here in a couple of weeks. The update is having the very last touches put to it now.

Shh. Don't tell anyone...

... But we've struck a deal with Foyles, one of London's oldest, most famous and prestigious booksellers, who will be promoting The New Goodbye in its stores come the update in a couple of weeks time.

The update will also have some lovely Foyles goodness too, in the shape of money-off and free ticket vouchers created by one Ms J Basford. Once we've added the update, visiting any of the Foyles stores with your iPhone will also let you unlock some exclusive extra content for the app.

There'll be the music video too of course, created by Order for Rich Watson's title track. Rich has also recently updated his MySpace page with a new music player, so if you don't have an iPhone but want to hear The New Goodbye, take a trip over there.

It's been a while...

But things of The New Goodbye variety are still ticking over a-pace. We're working on the phase two of the app, which as well as featuring the music video will also include a new short story, discounts for anyone with the app off of purchases made from a major British bookseller and a couple of other bits and bobs. We're aiming to submit the update to Apple by the penultimate week of this month--so that's soon. Better get cracking.
