Duncan(s) Stor(e)y

Here is a recent portrait video I shot. Duncan is from Grimsby and is the younger brother to Basil - a former documented candidate. This short, documents our trip to beamer falls in Grimsby. We tried to capture a live recording of Duncan's song on tape with some frogs in the background but for some unknown reason we could never find any. When we were quiet the frogs would all start chirping in every direction around us however there were no frogs in site.

We then drove to St. Catharines, to find the fish, but like the frogs, there were none.



cheers

Shitty Puppets Make Shitty Music Videos

In September we began creating puppets at the Exploding Motor Car Studios. It was for a non-music video concept for AIDS Wolf. We assembled the puppets with basic fabric, and sewed the fronts to backs tall enough and large enough for our arms to fit inside. We then cut out the shapes of the mouths, and painted each character and tacked on old foam peanuts, and scraps from previous videos.

To create the effects of poo smearing, we used oatmeal mixed with pudding and it made me hungry for cookies. The large turd monster, was created out of a disassembled plastic bag igloo from a Tegan and Sara music video and bound with some excess cheesecloth. The large monsters head had a hole in the back so I was able to reach in and stick my hand out of the mouth and manipulate it like a tongue. Once my hand was in, it was covered in pudding to look slimy.

The video starts off like a "How We Made" video, like previous videos and progresses into a chaotic battle between a band and their shit.

Enjoy!
