Just then, I got another call from friend and Austrian musician James Hersey. He was coming into the city and needed a place to crash. I remembered always wanting to do a video with him, but nothing ever panned out.
I immediately messaged him back asking, "Do you want to do a music video while your here?" He freaked and automatically said "Yes!" The next day I told my long time friend and fellow cinematographer Hunter Baker about doing the video over the next day or two since our last one dropped. He was in and brought up the idea of doing stop-motion in chalk. Since he was already painting his walls chalkboard color we could easily do it at his place. I had a 1987 VHS camera that I have been dieing to use. So for the first time in a long time this music video will be chalk stop-motion on VHS. Two different blends in one!
You are probably wondering about the story or more of what the video is about besides just chalk and VHS. Well you see the whole thing starts off with James setting up his VHS camera singing along, but once the chorus kicks in we cut to the POV of the VHS camera as it captures James singing about his travels and leaving his girl back home. With that story in mind, we took the time to animate his journey fron New York to Hollywood and then back home.
So in a sense it's just a man singing about his travels with pictures drawn behind him to go along...oh and shot on VHS too!! COMING SOON!!
