Snowglobe – Teenage Queen from holycowboy on Vimeo.

UPDATE (2/21/2010): Here’s the YouTube version of the video in Magnet Magazine’s blog.

When I was in Memphis doing ADR for Savage County, I took two days to shoot two videos for Snowglobe – a band introduced to me by Craig Brewer when I was working on his series $5 Cover.

I love Snowglobe. They make smart, sad, funny, catchy music and they’re great guys to boot. Making a music video for a band that I’m really into was one of the things that made making movies seem like a good idea when I first started trying to make movies.

We shot this in 6 hours on a Saturday. It was a joint effort between me, Kate Crowder (another $5 Cover star and lead singer of the band Two-Way Radio), Alan Spearman (filmmaker and photojournalist), and an ARMY of Moms.

We shot it on a rented Canon EOS 5D Mark II (feel free to buy me one if you read this and you’re rich and crazy). We used the lights in the school cafeteria. Savage County editor (and friend and filmmaker) Gabriel Noguez edited it here in LA.
