The Hold Steady - Chillout Tent

[nicolemivy]

wow, you were very literal in your interpretation

[tinkertoes1000]

Wow I can't believe you did not win this is really good!

[verybrendanable]

This is awesome. Good job!

[ShadowsOFJustice]

fuck this is good

[KingaJaka]

great vid to a shit song! congrats!

[jhniscolV2]

@KingaJaka

how is this song shit?

its a great song. the hold steady are storytellers, not poets. the simplicity of some of their music is what makes it amazing

[MetalBail]

The Hold Steady are fucking awesome... Thank You Tony Hawk's Project 8 Lmao!!

[SheWalksInBeauty]

this is really cool. nice job!

[Zyfoe]

"They started kissing when the nurses took off their IDs. It was..... kinda sexy, but kinda creepy."

I love that part of the song.

[koenighain]

It's "IVs". Not "IDs"...lmfao

[koenighain]

OH MY GOD. This gave me chills like none of THS' videos ever have. Not even Craig's voice when he's overtly drunk and filled with the holy spirit could've topped the impact of this video. VERY well done. Im kinda confused, though--did u win the contest? u shouldve!! (:

[liberatedmedia]

thank you very much for your kind words, unfortunately i did not win the contest.

[jamielowndes]

Just discovered this song, something so disturbingly beautiful about it.

Cool video as well, very well made.

And a fun bit of trivia to the uneducated, Dave Pirner, the male guest vocalist, is heard shouting "Fuck You" to the Minneapolis police at the start of "Kids Don't Follow" by The Replacements.

[youngturkey97]

its happy but sad and thats my bro and his ex : ( gf

[madhat176]

really good job! i frikin love this song!

[miawashere]

That is such a cool video,. How the fuck did you do that ? d:

[liberatedmedia]

thank you very much, with a lot of time and patience, lol

[CaptainSuck]

Pretty great for an amateur video. The song, however... ugh.

[liberatedmedia]

why thank you very much

[jhniscolV2]

@CaptainSuck

ugh?

why ugh?

[CaptainSuck]

@jhniscolV2

Ha, sorry, just can't get into the Hold Steady at all

[ryanisforever]

I don't like this video because I don't get it. Why are they in a field? Why are they rolling on a trampoline? Why is she eating shrooms and driving? Why couldn't you find an actress who can actually smoke?

I thought the poetry was a nice touch.

[liberatedmedia]

your loss.

[perrynoid]

nice song. great hook. Sounds a bit like Soul Asylum meets The Pursuit of Happiness

[grizzellor]

Perrynoid...that is Dave Pirney singing back up...

[jgcobb79]

The name is Dave Pirner, not Pirney.

[jgcobb79]

It Pirner not Pirney.

[perrynoid]

hey grizzellor....even cooler. Thanks for the 411. Great video. Ive seen some entries - but this one by far is best..i think

[BlushingBull]

this is so fucking cool i love it its my favorite song from them

[liberatedmedia]

thanks alot im glad you like it : )

[pman710]

nice video it goes great with the song

[liberatedmedia]

thanks alot!

[ghettostarchild59]

you won me with the kid snorting a line of music...

[DREWBERT79]

Really good job dude. I watched your short film; also very good.

[liberatedmedia]

thanks alot for the feedback, i'm glad you liked them

[nottaj]

incredible save the lack of literal interpretation.

[TwoToGo]

If it weren't for the repetitions here and there I would've easily believed that this was the real thing! Well done!

[liberatedmedia]

thanks you very much!

[dyingstart]

Excellent!

[liberatedmedia]

thanks alot!!

[carlosfarva]

Goo video man. I understand how much effort you must have put into this.

i loved the transition from jumping on the trampoline to being passed out on the ground.

[liberatedmedia]

thanks alot man, it's good to know that some people realize and appreciate how much effort goes into animation, i'm glad you liked it

[SmackoRulesOverNate]

good video man

[liberatedmedia]

thanks alot!!

[rahmid]

That was super rad, great music too.

[liberatedmedia]

thank you very much!

[agoraphan]

dude, i want kid number one's sweater so so so so bad

[liberatedmedia]

haha i got it at a thrift store, sorry i cant help ya out

[bananataffy88]

:(

epic find.

the first one was me too, btw

as if it matters

[xvolcomxsurferx95]

this is amazing:]

[liberatedmedia]

thank you very much!

[glittergirl3321]

loved it! i just wanted to look at hold steady stuff and found this.

[hathair]

I'm thinking you should've taken the time to film a little more...but otherwise the concept is fantastic...flesh it out a little and do it again man...I wanna see how much better you can make this...

[liberatedmedia]

i totally agree with you. I spent so much time on the animated scenes i figured i'd have enough footage for the entire video but when i put it all together it only added up to about half. Since it was so last minute i had to show some things more than once.

[Crumie]

original concept man, seriously. check out my video for this song too.

[liberatedmedia]

thanks alot man your video is badass too, i like it

[Stratocaster821990]

Awesome! This must have taken a long bitchy time to edit!

[scubbyisnotaword]

I'm a sucker for that start stop motion stuff, so obviously this was awesome. The beginning was so good with the guy snorting music, and also when he's laying on the bed and his shirts change. Good luck with your entry!

[liberatedmedia]

thank you !! im glad you liked it!!

[turistattraksjon]

That is really fantastic done. I love it. (I've always loved that song)

[liberatedmedia]

thanks alot! yeah i love that song too

[rapsodie25]

*JuST 1 woRd*....AWESOME!!!

[liberatedmedia]

thank you!!

[blevinger]

this song is bitchin' and I like how the video is kinda trippy

[liberatedmedia]

thank you very much!

[kickstartmyheart9]

that guy should learn to sing

[Jacktwo]

Yeah, and you should learn to stop being a clueless fucking idiot. But you won't, will you?

[gib22rhcp]

that's really good! great job :D

[liberatedmedia]

thank you!

[KeirTheBrigadier]

When the guy reaches into his trousers it looks like he's going to have a massive wank.
