I got cold chills by just watching the sheer brilliance of this claymation. Well done my friend. This is so underrated. You have a skill. You made magic with this. You added so much more to this song that I already felt every time I listened to it. Thank you for that.
@kean10c you speak the truth, i have no idea what your situation is with this mutual friend, but if you were to bring it up sometime i would be eternally grateful
Hes one of my best friends, he in turn is good friends with Scott from Okkervil. In fact, Scott and Lauren played at my friends wedding. Whats really funny is that I had no idea my friend was friends with scott until I burned him some okkervil tune back in 05 i think. He said, " What was the name of these guys? I think my friends in the band."
I nearly crapped myself. Okkervil has been my favorite band since I caught them in Austin back in 99 or 00.
NOWAY! ITS COLIN LEPPER! HEY ITS CHRIS! Dude!! this is AMAZING! im so glad i was looking for ideas for my final media arts project and found urs. Now ill just steal all your ideas and get 100%.
thankyou! Besides the profanity, that's really nice to hear! I definitely get what your saying, all though how you say it seems pretty harsh. ..Anyways I'm glad the video made you feel at least a little better.
AMAZING!! You should post the photo of your ceramic sculpture rendering of the cover of OR's "Don't Fall in Love with Everyone You Meet." I saw that photo first on William Schaff's flikr page. It's totally awesome so I am not surprised that you made that cool claymation video.
So glad you got an actual job out of it. You are very talented!
thanks again, if anyone has suggestions as to which song i should base my next video on,id love to hear it,cause im a little stumped. i was considering the war criminal rises and speaks, or the velocity of saul at the time of his conversation...
I actually came very close to using Bruce wayne Campbell, but at the last minute i decided to make one for this song instead. I love westfall so that also may be fun... i dont know! OR has so many epic songs. However my next video for OR must be put on hold as i've actually been offered a job making one of these videos.
I actually found this video by mistake when i typed in okkervil river as one word.
It dosen't show up when you type it in seperately.
Please change the title of this so it's two words. You'll get way more views, and this video NEEDS to be seen more. And this song needs to be heard more too.
ok will do! i have okkeril river as two seperate words listed in my keywords, but i guess since in the title itself i have it as one word, it doesnt show up in searches? either way I shall change it. thankyou for your comment and letting me know!
Excellent work Colin! You kept my attention from beginning to end! And that's pretty cool in this ADD world of mega dollar comercials. Did I say "cool" oops! I gave away my age. How many hours do you figure you put into it?
hmmm. thats a good question... im not really sure, if i had to guess id say from planning until the finished product i spent about...40 hours on it? just a rough guess though...
very very cool. i love this song a whole lot, and this video is appropriately awesome. i also think its great that the claymation guy has will sheff hair. :)

Wow, this is a really great video. I like how you did the fire at the end. You should post this on OR's message board.
For the next song, you could do:
Westfall, The President's Dead, or maybe from the new album, Bruce Wayne Campbell.
