I gaffed this elvis perkins music video in December. I think the quality looks like crap and I hope it's just because of youtube. Anyway, this shoot was cool because unlike most music videos where the song is pre recorded and then it's played back for the band to sing along with (so everything syncs up in post), this one was shot live with live sound and 3 cameras. some of the extreme closeups were picked up later and the cigarshop-indian-statue-thing was also done later. it was a small space with not many windows, low celings and 3-cameras, 'twas a bitch to light but we pulled it off in the end. so check out the music video:
Also! There's a new icon in my credits! Yes folks, not only have I earned my art department patch for creating a giant spider web and nearly tying up justin timberlake, but now I've got another paint can next to a feature film! yup, I've left the world of big lights and am currently spending my days making little lights blink on fake control panels, making antique elevators light up and occasionally fixing cords of power tools that the construction boys have cut through.
