MR HAYDAY – The Jumps (NZ)

Here’s one that has been a while in the making. James and I meet at Camp A Low Hum in Feb this year and I flew up to Auckland to make the video whilst still in the fine land that is New Zealand. Kindly, Tim Flowers shot it, and brought along a super nice camera, it was all quite last minute. Many months later I have finally fought the beast that is red camera post and here is the end result. The initial thought was for the video to be editing ‘playtime’ for me…that it was…

Ned Collette + Wirewalker – Come Clean

Shot on a day off in Leipzig, Germany. Originally meant to be a one shot clip, the band re-recorded the song after we filmed it so a few little snips were needed.

Latest music video news…

DAN DEACON – PADDLING GHOST
a puppet epic.

http://pitchfork.com/forkcast/13290-paddling-ghost/

I like to think it was made by genius 5 year olds. Or maybe the inner 5 year old genius… who knows, it’s ridiculous, it’s cute, it’s filled with adventure and literal lyric interpretations and was undeniably fun to make.

Almost everything you see in the clip is made out of recycled goods from round the house, in the shed, off the street, out of skips and plenty was acquired from second hand stores (apologies to the stuffed animals that were harmed in the making of this production).

Don Brooker – DIY design master- made the fantastic puppets (Dan, the Ghost + the Pirate) . The puppeteering team was lead by the immensely talented Heath McIvor who importantly helped physically plan out how my ideas could be realized. This was no small task!

It couldn’t have been made without all 15 people who were involved in the making of this video. Thanks to you!

Made in Melbourne, Australia. 2009

oh and for the record these are not finger puppets – the Dan Deacon puppet is almost 2 feet tall!
…more video treats to come soon!

Coming… soon.
