This will always be a special video, not in that its my all time favorite - though i do love the energy we reached and the blistering Nina McNeely is an artists muse - but in that it was the first video I shot with my cinematographer Matthew Lloyd. I called Matthew at the recommendation of Joshua Leonard and he was amazing. Like me, he didn't care about budget, or complain about anything. He was die hard in the prep - taking many trips to the various locations, and just showed a passion and care for the filmmaking process that I cherish. In terms of the video, I was originally asked to make this video for MTV's Parkour TV Show using their competitors, however there was an insurance issue so the band asked if I could do something for them on the side. Basically this video is based on the banging snare that sounded like someone was trapped in a box. This became the core of the concept, and from here the story arose instantly. A revenge story, about a woman who gets her new man to kill her old man, by knocking him unconscious, locking him (and his brother) in a metal box, and throwing them into the middle of the ocean. The shoot really lined up for us as I found myself trying to prepare this murder. It wasn't easy, having to line up trucks, a box and figuring out how best to throw a box in the ocean and then, the environmental side of me had to figure out how to retrieve the box after the toss (*I learned lobster boats do this all day). . We shot on an amazing overcast day, filled with dolphins and choppy water. Fortunately I was the only one that puked on the boat (looking into a monitor is very bad for ocean sickness) though i think it took its toll on us all.
