This video was flagged by Warner Music Group for copyright infringement, but I disputed it and got it back online. Sorry for the corporate nonsense, it makes no sense.
Anyway, since I directed this piece I am legally allowed to use it for portfolio purposes.
Thanks everyone for the awesome comments!
====== VIDEO INFORMATION ======
I can't remember the exact budget for this video but it was, as is apparent, very low (25k I think). I think this was the third or fourth music video I ever made.
The video takes place inside of a Playmobil doll house. I did all the compositing myself with longtime collaborator Andrew Ralston. This was the first time Andrew and I ever considered the possibility of compositing with miniatures, and we literally taught ourselves the process as we went along. This was a difficult video to make, at the time, but the learning experience was invaluable. (Check out my new video for Secondhand Serenade to see what a proper compositing job with miniatures looks like.)
For some reason the band never released this video, I was never told why. I guess they didn't like it, or the label didn't like it. I've always felt really bad about that. There are a lot of things wrong with it, but considering all the work was done by two guys on a shoestring budget it's not THAT bad! Regardless of its shortcomings, it's fun and I think there are enough cool things that it's worth showing people.
