I LOVE this new video! I think it so touching and moving the way it has been shot, I mean it is so beautifully poetic! Ilkka Villi IS Alan Wake and he seems so helpless searching for his lost love... I love the atmosphere, the colours, the firelight on Marko's face, how he moves his hands while singing this epic song! Now I have to find where each Poet is hiding in the video! It will be great pleasure to watch it over and over again to catch each detail. So, congratulations, dear Poets and thank you once again for this new gift ! All you do is magical ! :roll:

Talking about the video I guess it's too..how can I say..connected (?) with the game, unknown to me, so I can't appreciate it at all :(
I repeat, beautiful location: the wood (I love wood!), the lake,the field...Marko sits near the fire..in the night..and the moon over the mountain...so amazing :oops:

P.S.: I'd liked to see "The Guys" just a little more....I'm not sure I recognized all of them!! :?

I think it's Jaska, beside Olli (with a beard :) ) at the beginning of the video and maybe Jari as well with them? Captain seems to be in the wood with the other guys (the rest of the band?) surrounding Alan Wake, so scaring!... BTW Ilkka is very good looking! :roll:

you see them all toward the end surrounding Alan. In order of appearance: Jani, Kapu, Jaska, Olli and then Jari. I think :?
And it's Jari, Jaska and Olli on the truck.

Don't know who's playing the clown, is it one of the Poets?

I agree! Any hints, Admin?

My guess is that it's Marko

Why that clown can´t be Marko? It would make perfectly sense:)

Hey guys, did you spot a cute brown setter on the front seat of the car? Could it be Marko's dog? :P

I think it's Olli- Not very big guy.. Or it could be Jani.. Both have a sence of humor for it..

As far as I know, Marko hasn’t got a dog. Olli and Captain have.

My vote about the clown goes to Jari :D

Haha I thought about it too. I think that this dog is very talented and he's driving on an English car :lol:

Another thing....what's up with the clown?


As a person who didn’t play the game I assume that the clown represents a mockery of Alan’s feelings and reminiscences.

The clown has the same bunch of colorful balloons that his dear held strolling along the field just before he lost her. So when he saw someone with the balloons later in the woods he might have thought he found her. But…

However in the context of the game clown’s figure may have completely different meaning.

Usually I think it's awkward when someone tries to film a live-action video game. But I think they did this really well: it was moody, it had no cheesy CG, they hinted at more story then they actually showed (a must) and it all seemed to fit within it's own world.

Makes me wish someone would give Remedy a bucket of cash to make an Alan Wake movie. Hey, if Marvel can produce it's own films, why can't a video-game company?

I never recognize anyone, so I'm sitting out the "Spot the POTF" game.

OK, I seem to be the only one here who does not go crazy for the video. While I like the atmostphere I must say it does not do much for me otherwise. It's too much Alan Wake and to little Poets of the Fall for my liking. It worked well to bring Alan to life there, but as someone who did not play the game, I don't really care about that. So for me this will not go on the list of favorites. *shrugs*

Nicely filmed though and I had some fun spotting the guys. Oh and to me it looks like the field here is the same one that was used in the DWA vid, but that might just be my imagination.

You're not the only one, it wasn't to my liking either. Though I don't play the game, that wouldn't prevent me from enjoying it. But I felt the video just didn't fit with the song itself because the elements from Alan Wake didn't fit.

I saw Olli's father in the video. Not 100% it is him, but makes sense... Not sure if I should tell you where, since this appears to be a private information
