CDs & Music Snow Patrol / Rendezvous

If you've never seen the film Rendezvous (the one with the Ferrari driving flat out through Paris back in the 70's) try and check out Snow Patrol's new single and video. It uses Rendezvous footage, unfortunately i didn't catch it all, and the song will only be about 4 minutes long, where as Rendezvous is 10 minutes in length, so some editing has been done, and they show the "cheesey" ending, but worth a watch all the same

Cool! Not seen this yet, where did you catch it, on one of the MTV type channels?

Suze · 28 Jan 2007, 13:25 (Ref:1827800)

If you search on youtube, there is a sortof video of it - someone has put the Snow Patrol music to the Rendezvous footage but it's not the official video and is about a minute longer. I have searched online a little last weekend and not found it around, yet.

**Craig** · 28 Jan 2007, 13:29 (Ref:1827803)

Thanks for that fascinating fact, Suze!

**Tim Falce** · 28 Jan 2007, 22:14 (Ref:1828163)

Yeah thanks Suze. Just found the Snow Patrol, Greys Anatomy version and it shows all the highlights from the final episode..............of next week.

Please don't blame me for what others may choose to upload to youtube...!

**Tim Falce** · 29 Jan 2007, 14:13 (Ref:1828597)

Suze, you are a responsible person, so you are responsible for me finding out what happens next week.

its a short little making of with someone i think is the director. my lack of French means i dont know what he is talking about, but he driving a Mecedes and not a Ferrari.

Sadly, that's the true story of how Rendezvous was filmed. Using the Mercedes you see in that clip with a camera mounted in front of the grille and Claude Lelouch driving. The Ferrari soundtrack was added later.

A friend mine always said the soundtrack wasn't properly in sync at certain times, but it's still a disappointment to discover the truth.

Mr V · 8 Feb 2007, 06:49 (Ref:1836002)

Is that what Lelouch says in that film on You Tube?

I don't speak French so have no idea what he's on about.

strider · 8 Feb 2007, 18:11 (Ref:1836566)

My French isn't that great either, but it's enough to understand that Lelouch is confirming that's how it was done.

I thought we had discussed all this before and, sure enough, if you go to the bottom of this page, where it says Similar Threads, then click on the one called Rendezvous, it's all there. Sad really, but I still enjoy the DVD.

Watched it again last night, with a mate and still not convinced that the film was sped up. Looking at the pidgeon's or the people the car go's near, it certainly didn't seem sped up. Plus, when he overtakes the cars near the beginning of the film, had it been sped up, those cars would have had to have been going about 5 mph.

**Tim Falce** · 18 Feb 2007, 18:20 (Ref:1844497)

Slightly off tack here but I have just downloaded the complete Eyes Open album, has anyone heard it, what do you think?

Rockmunky · 18 Feb 2007, 18:50 (Ref:1844517)

Yeah i've got it, it's okay, pretty relaxing.
