"Lookin' at Luckey" comes alive!
(editors note: this was supposed to go up Tuesday. Not sure why it didn't. Fucking computers and internet things...)
GREEN BAY PACKERS WEEKLY UPDATE:
Unfortunately, I was unable to watch a single second of the Packers game as I was busy doing this:
"What does making funny faces in bars have to do with not watching the Packers?" you may ask. And you'd be right, if I wasn't being filmed doing it. Because then it's cool and it's called a music video...
THIS WEEK IN MUSIC:
I was shooting a music video for "Lookin' at Luckey" this past weekend which was a fucking blast. I got to work with some amazing people including the absurdly brilliant writer/director, KEVIN PIETILA, and the beyond beautiful and wonderfully-talented lead actress, SONORA MINDWERL. And that's not including my other ridiculously awesome friends SARA MORRIS, BRIANNE KATHLEEN and A VIEW OF EARTH FROM THE MOON'S VERY OWN (JUST LIKE) JON FICKES. It was truly a blessing to have so much artistic energy in the room(s) when making this fucker. I had such a fun time despite learning that I am not quite as brilliant an actor as I assumed I once was. That honor goes to Sonora and Jon Fickes, who were wonderful when "action" was called. Give me a guitar, mic and a crowd and I'm in my element. Give me words to say and a camera in my face and... not my element so much. Although, I used to do a fantastic Jack Black/Tenacious D-type impression given the right audience. I passed my high school speech class with a Bob Marley song ("Redemption Song") and Jack Black inspired improvised speech/performance. I was tasked with performing this improvised speech in front of my whole graduating class later on, which I guess means it was pretty good. So, I have that going for me, which is nice...
We did a lot of amazing things during the video but perhaps my favorite was this:
What a beautiful car that I am so undeserving to even sit in... This Thunderbird was amazing. It's lucky you can't see below the waist on these shots. Boners upon boners...
Anyways, more updates for you soon... So tired... Who knew video shoots were more draining than recording sessions?
