This video is a prime example of utilizing what resources you have available to you in order to create a concept. We had no idea what this video was going to look like when we all met up three days before. We didn’t even know where we were going to shoot it. Micha Dahan (DP), Frank Guidoccio (Director/Editor), Steve and I got together for drinks at The Piston to talk about it, and thought, ‘Why not just see if we can use this space?’ The bartender said yes. Next I remembered that Sloan had offered to loan us their old lighting rig if we ever needed. One phone call and that was confirmed. Micha mentioned he some dolly track, so we had to use that somehow, and a few drinks later we found ourselves wondering, ‘what video could you possibly make with the confined space we have, the lights, the dolly, and the non-existent budget?’ It was like the haiku of video making. This is what we came up with. Our old drummer Shayne Cox is on the kit as Brent couldn’t make it, K-OS was green screened in later, my friend Sonya did our makeup, our old friend Simon Head assisted us all day. And of course Frank really outdid himself on the editing front. Bam.
Vote for this video on Aux’ “Video Throwdown.” It is up against Hot Hot Heat’s “YVR.”
