TV on the Radio "DLZ" Music Video

[ZehGfather]

STOP

WAR

So true..

[hellradiolives]

One of my favorite songs of all time but this video has absolutely nothing in common with it. The blurry scenes in no way even mesh with the song let alone it's subject matter. And personally I think it was a rip off to use it as yet another way to hawk your political agenda.  Great song though:D!

@MrBobsagit1234 DAMN!!! THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY!!! You bet me to it.

[GlassEyes8]

You brought a meth lab to the airport!

Good video, interesting to see the advertising in a different way.

[Free2feR]

Thanks Breaking Bad!

[NUM83R51337]

Fuck Vampire diaries, BREAKING BAD YEEEEEEH!

[CRAZYCJ769]

Thumbs up for this on Breaking Bad!....I LOVE that fucking show!....Such epic perfectness for putting this song in the show!!!

That is my secret."

"experiential overlap"

[israelforreal]

The world is doomed to over population and destruction. There is no solution

[Levination]

@israelforreal your wrong natural disasters are going to wipe out alot of the population and wherever there is creation there is destruction but the world will be here until the sun explodes and there will always be life on it even if its minimal and minute organisms. so just because humans cease to exist doesnt mean the world is over there are other species.

[israelforreal]

Unless the sun simply envelops the earth completely destroying it. But i would agree with you otherwise. In the long run whether it be a million or 50 million the earth as a planet suitable for humans is doomed to destruction.

[pooof29]

What town is it?

[jackdog307]

@pooof29 Ridgecrest, California.

[pooof29]

@jackdog307 Thank you!

[jackdog307]

@pooof29 You're very welcome! Thanks so much for checking out the video!

[LeKoller]

Good job, that was expresive!

[jonathanfarah]

Very nice, congratulations you did a great job. Looking forward for more great videos.

[JonDeth]

yay! another absolutely HORRIBLE fan made video without an ounce of intelligent effort or artistic insight put into it!



[jackdog307]

@JonDeth Thanks so much for your insightful & extremely profound critique of my music video, man! You know, there isn't enough members of YouTube who will truly sit down and fairly examine someone's work & truly appreciate it for what it is... You are part of a select few, my friend! Keep up the good work!

[JonDeth]

@jackdog307 no, THANK YOU! Instead of taking the time to select national news clips that impact everyone's lives and use segments that are very critical then string them together in an intelligent, artistic manner matching the emotional changes of the music, you took dog shit, smeared between 2 slices of bread and called it a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Thank you sir!

You are a true patriot!

[jackdog307]

@JonDeth Oh, so the essence of creativity & artistry is making just another shitty slideshow w/ "relevant" images & clips set to a song, like literally everyone else on YouTube? Funny, b/c I was under the impression that originality was, oh, I don't know, CREATING SOMETHING ORIGINAL? Oh snap! I've been doing it all wrong! You've really shown me the error of my ways, and for that, I truly thank you.

[JonDeth]

@jackdog307 the point is to make an intelligent statement through visuals that does the song justice you lazy fucking idiot. Your video is absolutely horrible and doesn't make an impact in the mind's eye of the viewer. You should be striving to reach the viewer on both an emotional and intellectual level at which you failed on both accounts quite miserably.

You shouldn't be allowed near editing software...or sharp utensils for that matter.

Hello spork!

[braves7581]

thumbs up if JonDeth should calm his shit

[JonDeth]

@braves7581 should go eat a bag of cold vomit.

That would be equal to the suffering I endured by watching this video. 

[braves7581]

@JonDeth Well why don't you make one yourself, to see if you can make a better one

[CanadianChronic2121]

ABQ ??

[REMsleeper428]

Oh, and fuck Proposition 8! Those haters should stay out of my territory.

[REMsleeper428]

I'm just now catching up to all seasons of Breaking Bad, and just got to Season 2, Episode 10. Heard this song and now I'm viewing you! Love the Winnebago at 2:20. Seems others have spotted it too!

Stay out of my territory. ;]

[JonnyRPW]

2:20.. Someones cookin.

[iudnnobasszal]

what was prop 8?

[jackdog307]

@iudnnobasszal It was a proposition on the California ballot to reverse the legalization of gay marriage. It unfortunately passed... :-(

[VerifyThisAsshat]

@jackdog307 fortunately, it passed. If you want to legalize gay marriage, most of us don't really give a shit. If prop 8 hadn't passed, it would have left a loophole legally obliging all pastors and priests to marry gay couples. Should they refuse to marry them, the gay couple could then sue the church for discrimination, and essentially burn it to the ground. There was no measures against this ridiculous infringement upon ones freedom to practice religion. Should get your facts straight.

[jackdog307]

@VerifyThisAsshat It's called Equal Rights, bro; you may not give a shit, but many gay couples who are in love and are denied the right to certify their union certainly do. Also, I'm not sure if my opinion that it "unfortunately" passed was now considered the facts.

[VerifyThisAsshat]

@jackdog307 so you're for equal rights, just not for religious people. Cognitive dissonance for the win!

[blakbobspacepirate13]

@VerifyThisAsshat Fuck religion. All it does is cause discrimination. What's wrong with gay marriage? it won't affect you one bit.

[VerifyThisAsshat]

@blakbobspacepirate13 You obviously didn't read a damn thing I wrote so go ahead and read it again.

[macabreiceman]

@VerifyThisAsshat Just a thought, but one would think if you want freedom OF religion, you first need freedom FROM religion. Also, in many states, if you're looking to get married, just walk to a court house (Also known as Civil Marriage). As far as the church is concerned, I thought the idea was to keep church and state separate. If a church refuses to marry a gay couple, that's the church's problem, but it has no right to cut the ability for a legal marriage between any two consenting adults

[schicktd]

NEVER YOU MIND...

[Kaldiin]

I like the winnebago you spot around 2:20 mark :)

[Weirdo87]

Spec. Tac. U. Lar.

[AlanAyazyam]

Pope. Faction. Rage.

[Mistoballin]

You win the internet!

[mecon92]

Nice editing with the video, great job overall.

[explosivetwist]

overturn prop h8te.

[DeejayOS]

You really did an amazing job of capturing the passion from both sides. I've been enjoying this video for the last 9 months.

[surfer390111]

Where in Cali is this video shot?

[jackdog307]

It was shot in Ridgecrest, CA, in the Mojave desert, about 2.5 hrs east of LA...

[DeejayOS]

I thought this might be Ridgecrest. I used to live in Bakersfield. Looked like the High Desert area.

[redmanholmes]

Ha, crazy how the first shot of the houses looks like the Breaking Bad set

[thatch]

you did pretty good with this video man.

but i can't comment without mentioning breaking bad, wow i love this song even more after hearing it on the finale episode.

sends shivers down my spine just hearing it again

[matthewteague]

hade the album before i watched the episode with this song, i practicaily shit myself when i heard this on d tv.

[mecon92]

@matthewteague

Haha, TV on the Radio on the TV

[Gotfried]

Not as seen on TV

[aidsnasty]

Breaking Bad

[listenboy]

heard ir on breaking bad took me forever to find ahh

[thechickenpicker]

haha! same!

[Mehllo]

Jackdog,

Usually when I'm looking for music on youtube, and I click on a "homemade" music video (ie not the studio version) I usually click on a different link right away.

Your cinematography grabbed me right from the beginning. I seriously disagree with the comments below that say you should have filmed it with a steadier lense. Your framing, the variety of shots, all contributed to the effect of the video. Great job - if you're not in film school, you should be.

[movienerdgeek]

The song makes a great background for this video, but there are some distractions with the way it is filmed, mostly because it is so inconsistent. Some scenes are filmed perfectly well for guerilla style filmmaking, but others are framed poorly, lit poorly, too shaky etc. It's a major distraction to the flow of the film. Plus, the editing could have been a little more concise to make more of an impact. It's a good effort though, and there's definitely some good stuff put together. :)

[jackdog307]

I appreciate the critique of the actual video, rather than just another comment saying, "Rad song, brah!" haha.

[demonikmagic]

awsome song XD

[bonwowo]

this video is okay, but I think it can be a lot better if you don't make it from hand, because all this things will get deeper in watcher's head if it'll be filmed quietly

[trosdemelosensepolpa]

great song!

[okenoren]

Freeking Awesome song! x

[PetrelliPeterr]

Stay out of my territory

[Noirguy22]

Um, I like the video. It's well directed and a good song. Is it cool if I like the video hammer? I am having trouble understanding what your problem is. He shot the film, he edited it, he made choices as to what direction he wanted to take the film in. It's cool if you don't agree with the content. But I don't understand why you can't just objectively view the video and say "I like the angle on that shot" or "You know, maybe that could have been edited better" something constructive.

[hammer231984]

...and no offense, but this video is in no way worth watching. The song is sick. The vid is nothing really. I don't really need a comment sent back to me defending it, I just don't care. I'd be surprised if anyone else did.

[jackdog307]

I like how you "like this video just fine and hold nothing against it" about an hour ago, but now it is in no way worth watching... but, since you've come back to this page so often to leave comments, I'm sure you must like it at least a little bit....

[hammer231984]

Is saying I don't think this video is worth watching a problem? It's a good song. I'm not trying to ruin this guys life by shattering his confidence... Everything is gonna be okay. Don't worry, be happy.

[hammer231984]

...and to clarify my take on the video. I like it just fine. I have no problem with it. I don't have a problem watching the weather channel all day either. It's just not worth doing.

Keep up the good work though, my opinion means nothing. You have a whole pack of loyal supporters who think you have talent. Don't let one person's comment get you down. Just aim for the moon, even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars.

[hammer231984]

Yep I would, Cool song, no problem with the video... But I believe if you look in the box to the top right you see that it says directed. We're just arguing semantics if we decide to talk about this... who cares. I'm just a fan of the band. Plus I like WillBraden, polymath geniuses are rare. Guys like WillBraden change the world for the better.

[hammer231984]

hahahaah "Directed by; Ryan Smith" ... who was the cinematographer? Should have won an academy award. "Directed"... That's a good one.

[jackdog307]

Well, obviously I didn't "direct" the Prop. 8 picketers; I put "Directed By:" on there because it was my music video and I was the only one working on it. I shot all the footage and cut it together. I'm glad you liked my cinematography though! rofl.

[WillBraden]

so documentaries have no director? deciding what to shoot, and how to shoot it, as well as editing it together, is direction.

god, trolls aren't even trying anymore.

[hammer231984]

I was just biggin'  buddy. It's okay... isn't it? Are you feeling really defensive? Come on, tell me more. I bet you are the are the president of your local Mensa chapter.

... I just can't let it slide though... This video, while I like it just fine and hold nothing against it, is in no way directed. Why don't you explain your point of view to me.

Trolls? You have a beautiful mind.

[WillBraden]

I don't know what "I was just biggin'" means, and I do feel defensive in the sense that I need to defend ideas in the face of people asserting things they don't understand. sure, this is a simple concept, but look what the guy did. he chose a song (which is about political matters, government, etc.) and decided to film political protests and signage. he decided where to go, what to film, how to film it, what to include, and how to edit it together. that is direction, pure and simple. all clear?

[hammer231984]

.... ohhh We're dealing with Mr Grammar. I had no Idea... I have a few beers, play with my computer and type in the wrong vowel. I'm sure you had no idea what I meant to say. I'm gonna forward my essays and term projects to you, so you can proof read them.

To clarify, that IS NOT what directing consists of. Not to take away from what he did, cause honestly I don't care. I came across it as a result of search TVOTR.

It's great we have internet tough guys like you to sort us commoners out...

[WillBraden]

what the shit are you talking about? no, I don't have any idea what you were trying to type, I'm not psychic. buggin'? how does your drunken retarded typing have anything to do with grammar?

anyone can see that this IS directed, and since I've explained it twice, (and you can presumably use google on your own) I guess you're either a TRUE idiot (and you don't sound THAT dumb), or just really stubborn.

but at any rate, I do agree with you that you should not send me any of your essays.

[Rodiarc]

lol, You are ridiculous. He put it straight to ya a couple times there, and you just keep on stating the totally false. This is directing, plain and simple.

[WillBraden]

I do like all the videos that you've directed, though...

[5mil]

Yep.. The video camera was directed by Ryan Smith.. no one said anything about the song being directed by him.. Wouldnt you want credit for your footage?

[schiracha]

I thought Michael Scott was in the paper business!

[jackdog307]

HAHAHAHA. Before I shot this video, I saw another sign put up right next to the Michael Scott one that said: "Vote for Dwight Schrute: Assistant to the School Board Member"... when I went back to film it, it had been taken down...

[Loyaxxl]

great vid

[casimir1011]

If you think this video is epic try watching Breaking Bad on AMC episode 10 at the very end.

[BernardTunes]

what a fuckin scene

[bobbrun47]

i just posted that :)

[RobertGraaf]

@casimir1011 You see the RV at 2.20, probably those guys Walter scared away from that parking lot

[smobe12]

This song is on the AMC television series Breaking Bad.

[juggernaut0260]

This is a very powerful video to go along with an epic song

[joeyv134]

nicely shot

[caiters11]

seriously, only in America.

A lot of people need to get off their religious high horse.

[recoil88]

No sound on HQ, really like the shots on this video though.

[TheSchimmi]

i just can't understand the logic behind "yes on prop 8". the only argument i can think to back that would be: because i said so.

[JoshWd4]

also: "God said so"

[HELPGODHELPMYFACE]

gay people have cooties. 3:

[TheSchimmi]

epic win starts at 1:50

[CHErevolucion1]

who ever voted prop 8 makes me sick. this is fucking 2009. wkae the fuck up and grow the fuck up. i doubt god really cares.

[powellkk]

what is 8?

[jackdog307]

Prop. 8 in California was the bid to end gay marriage just 6 months after it was legalized. It was unfortunately passed, but as of late, there have been some uprisings to protest the proposition's passing.

[DeejayOS]

Oh no!!!!!!!!!! where did the video go????

[jackdog307]

What? It's still there, just now it looks like you're watching it through a mail slot, lol.

[DeejayOS]

Thanks, earlier it said it was no longer available. Looks like you are still thinking of this song as well.

Enjoy

[AlbertMondback]

Dear Science takes TVOTR in yet another amazing and experimental direction.

[jackdog307]

Haha, me too; I love this song... my favorite off of "Dear Science".

[DeejayOS]

This song gives me chills. I am now officially addicted.

[rafalwiklinski]

I concur. This song is truly amazing.

[Yiihaaaaaaa]

So great ! I feel irie when I heard this song !
