Not sure why I never posted this here. This video is a short promo we did with our good friends from Lark, on how to re-wax Barbour jackets. In my opinion, Lark is one of Vancouver’s best little clothing shops. They carry a fantastic mix of heritage brands, European, Japanese, American, and local designers. Their merchandising is always incredibly charming, and the atmosphere is a breath of fresh air compared to nose-in-the-air gastown boutiques, or crammed mall-stores.

We’re working on our next project together, and I’ll be sure to post it as soon as it’s done…

I’ve been waiting a long time to post this video. It got hung up somewhere between the edit being finished, and the official release. It debuted while I was away travelling, so I’m only now getting the chance to start sharing it.

I directed the video, and built the set along with Hanahlie Beise and a team of friendly and volunteers. Given the lack of support from any grant-funding bodies or record labels, we’re incredibly happy with how it turned out. Major thanks to Ryan Dahle himself for being so open, collaborative, and supportive of the project.

Woke up to a family of raccoons on the porch this morning. They had decimated our about-to-ripen strawberries, and probably would have taken out the tomatoes if they’d had more time.

Hello chicken wire.

Thank you broom (for defense).

Ed Banger records does it again… Sounds and sights working together, in perfect harmony. I won’t say that I’m into EVERYTHING that the label releases, but when they get it right, they REALLY get it right.

This has something akin to the DVNO video from SoMe/Justice, only I love that it was made by hand, using actual watercolors. It’s also got elements of the animated sequences from Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” mixed in there — with all of the morphing, sexual, acid-trip-style sequences.

For Breakbot, this is a career-maker right here.

A few photos from our video shoot for Ryan Dahle (formerly of Limblifter, and Age of Electric). We’re in the editing process now, and it’s looking really great, but it won’t be done for a couple of weeks at least. I couldn’t help but post these photos because Hanahlie and I worked hard on the set, and it came out far better than we could have hoped.

Massive thanks for all of the papercraft help to Dane Baspaly, Kim Kennedy Austin, Yahya An-Dinh, Karina Irvine, and Ben MacDonell.

Hats off also to Todd Duym, who shot it beautifully, and to Steve and Sim for the tireless on-set hustle.
