What I Would Do For A Korg Kronos extras

This is footage with audio and some extra footage from the music video I made for the video contest "What I Would Do For a Korg Kronos"

In this I read poetry to meerkats, dressed up as a homeless guy holding a sign up that said "Honk if you think Matt should get a Korg Kronos". (a lot of people honked... Then again it's Chicago.)

Dressed up in a shark costume. Which I got from the Chicago costume company! And helped kids cross the street. But really the crossing guard was helping me across the street because I couldn't see anything in that mask.

And I was walking on the beach in the shark outfit on a super crazy windy day.

I played ukulele and read poetry to the giraffes, but in this video you only see me playing ukulele to the giraffes at the Lincoln Park Zoo. I jumped into lake Michigan, which was freezing. And then I had to do it a 2nd day. Because in the 1st shot you couldn't see me splashing into the water. I hadn't even thought about that...

My buddy Don Bowman pied me in the face. It was also an awful experience. He hit me with that pie pretty hard.

The peanut butter on the face thing I did because i realized last minute I couldn't wear a sox jersey to a cubs game because of all the logos. And the rules of the contest state no logos or insignias.

My friend who twirls and eats fire taught me how to do it. It was pretty fun.

And I've found throughout my life I'm not good at being sexy. So me grabbing my crotch is not an easy task without being awkward.

Overall, it took me a month from start to finish from the idea and songwriting and recording to shooting the videos and editing it all together.
