Noah contacted me and said that he wanted a music video that
looked like this old surf film 'Crystal Voyager,'
except with
skateboarding.
I watched Crystal
Voyager and thought that it kinda looked like
the Krooked videos Sam has been doing, so we got together
and made a plan. We casted Clark Hassler as the star, he's
perfect,
he skates for a company that has a Panda Bear as its logo, and he
just seems like the trippiest dude out. The whole video is shot
on the video setting of our digital point-and-shoot photo cameras,
Canon Elphs...
Sam also used an old VHS camera for some of the scenes.
(sam took these photos)
In this scene we made Clark go into the water backwards with his board,
so it looks like, when played
backwards, that he is coming out of the water dry. Too bad all
are cameras were so janky, that you really
can't tell in the final video. I hope some day when this video is
on VH1, that we get it on Pop Up Video.
Or at least Bevis and Butthead!
Panda Bear's music is really incredible,
I highly recommend his new cd: 'Person Pitch' on
Paw Tracks
