"Citizens Here and Abroad" (Accelerator) Dir. Jason Koxvold
The video, which took over six months to complete due to complications filming the explosion (read: faulty detonators, slightly-immolated drivers, multiple takes and three trips back to the west coast), traces the path of a doomed relationship, compressed into one night.
Explosive!!! Especially the hot crotch shot. Watch for it.
Eh
pretty boring stuff.
yeh, jason, kindofa shame this epos is winding down a bit predictable. sticking to certain memes (lighting, bottle, car) can be an interesting choice, but only when honed to a new high each time. (you show your own scarce conviction in your fratboy introductory...)
thanks prog. i'm just glad it's done. kind of glad that the whole period of june through december of 2006 is done, to be honest. but i've finally shaken the jinx.
what frat boy introductory though? the drummer?
the crotch quip.
oh! hah. that would be corey's wink appended to the blurb from my site.
can you imagine if someone wrote that about their own work? you'd be torn between a slap and a high five, a la borat. genius.
ops. missed that that wasn't you. whatevs: looking forward to new adventures...
I"m not quite sure what you guys are talking about. this is a beautifully shot performance video for a great song; i like the way the vignettes take a back seat and let the energy of the video speak for itself. also: unexpected, abrupt ending? no problems there.
nice work JK. it's refreshing to see indie music represented with a fresh twist. Bring on the next.
cheers terry.
this is what my dad had to say about it:
I SAW WHAT I THINK IS, YOUR NEWEST MUSIC VIDEO. THE ONE WITH THE CAR CRUISING ACROSS THE DESERT, AND THE CROTCH. YOURS? ANYWAYS IT LOOKS GREAT. PARTICULARLY LIKE THE CUTTING; WITH SNIPPETS OF THIS AND THAT, YET IT HANGS TOGETHER. A BIT LIKE ONE OF THOSE BEDSPREADS MADE FROM CUTTINGS OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS.
thank you ladies and gentlemen, my work here is done.
