Too bad there was no CAROLS -Another PV Version- but as we know they didn't shot the swinging scenes because of the storms at that place over that time. Stupid storms.

I think that someone said here that MW's PV director is the same for GREEN but before the freak out people need to give him another chance, the shots look good, but let's see the PV before we judge XD.
More than the director, it's Ayu over the top facial expression in MW that almost ruin the PV for me. Seriously, I have to laugh when she is walking in the trench coat; no way that can be taken seriously.

But OK. XD I love her recent PVs and think her old ones are kinda meh..The ones from ASFXX and LOVEppears I really don't like..I don't think they become very good until the RAINBOW era (with exceptions, like Daybreak and Dearest). ^^ Though really it varies from album to album.. I thought MY STORY had very average PVs. I don't like About you and GAME as they're pretty much random flashes of images, etc. They were good, but I like (don't) Leave me alone and Marionette better. walking proud was just plain strange, and I prefer Together When... Humming 7/4 was boring, and CAROLS was "OK". HEAVEN isn't such a long song, so it's OK to do a one-scene thing, but CAROLS is so freaking long. o_o Where did the swinging part from the making of go anyway? I wanted that in the PV. : / Would'a been beautiful.
Mirrocle World was actually Kazuyoshi Shimomura. Takahide Ishii did such gems as Startin', Born to Be, and Blue Bird. However he did also do Momentum, so he does have the capacity to not be total crap, but his track record isn't that good. Although, Momentum is good because the story/concept is good, not that his direction is really that good.

That's why even Ayu's somewhat simple PVs from the past like Carols or even evolution etc I still find to be very good. They may not have a great story, but those pvs were always shot extremely well. (the cinematography and what not)
