ive seen so many things since i was born in 99 and
i think we should stop this thing it’s not really the time
and if your parents saw me in your house youd probably go to jail
and maybe that’s okay
it’s where you need to be
in 2001 the towers fell down in new york
i was only 2 years old but the world changed for the worse
my mom in tears at the park pushing me on a swing
if only she could see
how things turned out to be (x2)
Things are shitty I feel really bad
wish you could see why im shaking now
i’ve seen more dead bodies than I would really share
and sometimes i look deep in the mirror and try to cut my hair
but i see fear and shame and everything a girl just should feel
I see a girls who tired
a girl who isn’t real
i was driving to the gas station in my little home town
i saw a severed hand rotting right there on the ground
and i feel nauseous for a second but after a few i was fine
I’ve seen worse before
you’re in for a surprise
things are shitty i feel really bad
which you could see why im shaking now

Yeah I gotta go, I gotta split
I know I'm holdin you up well I'll be back in a bit
It meant very little and then quite a lot
We kept on snoozin baby until we had been caught
A new season is here they say, but sometimes it's better to upend
I dont wanna begin this way
We live in fright each night
Chainsaw our teeth but won't say we're uptight

LYRICS
It’s dark out again
No lights, no party
Go on ahead
It’s fine, forget me
Wasting away
No blood, no body
I don’t mind It’s alright
I wasted my time
Stuck to your tether
Soaked to the bone
Through your nasty weather
Just put me down
Six feet underground
I don’t mind
It’s alright
Nothings going your way
So you’re sleeping through the day
Count down 9 to 5
You’d rather die
But you’ve got some more to say
Trembling all the time
Forgetting how to cry
I feel so fucking dumb while I’m having fun
Then I bottle it up inside
Can’t you see?
There’s something off with me
My head is fucked
My feet are stuck
And I can barely breathe

LYRICS:
See me driving down the street
I'm bored with looking good
I got both hands off the wheel
The cops are coming
I'm listening to the music with no fear
You can hear it too if you're sincere
Cause I'm a punk rocker, yes I am
I see you stagger in the street
And you can't stay on your feet
Catch you faking in your sleep
You wish that you were deep
You can hear me laughing to myself
If you could you would be someone else
Cause I'm a punk rocker, yes I am
See me die on Bleecker Street
I'm bored with being God
We exist in the future
only visit the present
if you isn't you could be
unless you ain't then whatever
he tattooed my name on his skin now i'll be there forever
I'm listening to the music with no fear
You can hear it too if you're sincere
Cause I'm a punk rocker, yes I am
He had this to say about this song he chose to perform for Shibby Pics: "This is a cover of a song called "Yellow Bike" by a songwriter called David Bazan, who goes under the name Pedro the Lion, and he's one of my joint favorite songwriters. I've been working on a new record that's going to be out next year. And he did a record called "Phoenix" a couple of years ago, and the kind of raw honesty and nostalgia of the lyrics was really quite something for me, inspirationally speaking. So I love all his stuff but this is from his most recent thing, and it's really one of the most beautiful songs that I know."

We began filming it in December 2019, hoping to release it by the summer. Unfortunately, the Covid pandemic happened and we decided to not release it and keep working on it until things started to look all good.

The idea was always to intercut our shots with archive footage of the bands performing. As I edited, I started playing around with using a lot of crossfades. This gave the video a very wispy and dreamlike feel. That seemed very appropriate as the song is about reflecting on your past, and being spacy in the present because of that.

LYRICS:
Sometimes I wonder
What I'm doing at this moment
That I'll be cringing at a year from now
When I think about it
Like getting tattooed
Or something less permanent
Like the color of my shoes
Or the people I've been hanging with
And I might never get over it
I'll just get so much better at living with my shit
And we don't forget anything
We just lose the ability to access it in our brains
Sometimes the answers
To everything I've ever wondered
About life and death
And what comes after
Come to me as I lie between
Being awake and falling asleep
So if I zone out
While you're talking to me
It doesn't mean that I'm not listening
I'm just caught up in a moment
I have a tendency to get lost in the irrelevant details of the story
Like the color that your shoes were the day you walked away from me
And we might never get over it
We'll just get so much better at living in our shit
And we don't forget anything
We just lose our desires to relive the memories
Sometimes the answers
To everything I've ever wondered
About life and death
And what comes after
Come to me as I fall asleep
But they're gone by the morning
And I wonder
What I'm doing at this moment
That I'll be cringing at a year from now
When I think about it

This is the first video I've filmed where the artist wasn't in it. Perhaps no time more appropriate for that than during the pandemic. When I first heard Kailynn's song, I got a bunch of these visual in my head of a girl going throughout her day like everything is normal, just while wearing the facemask. The idea behind this video is going through everything like it's normal while it's certainly not normal.
i wanted the camerawork to be very tight and condensed on her while in the home, and showing off a lot of empty space around her when she's outside, perhaps being too on the nose in the graveyard? I also thought I was being a very clever boy with the upsidedown Amazon package with the frowny face on it.

I've been awake all damn night long
Just trying to write some stupid punk song
Drink after drink until I feel safe
And forget about everything, including your face
I'm feeling low
And I wish that I could go
Back in time and fix my shit
'Cause now I'm just
A bad seed
The sun is rising to greet a new day
As I'm wondering what it's like to really feel okay
My friends will worry but I'll tell them i'm fine
As I keep on fighting this war of mine
I'm feeling low
And I wish that I could go
Back in time and fix my shit
'Cause now I'm just
A bad seed
My head is always stuck in the clouds
And when I talk to anyone my voice is too loud
I've become antisocial and I feel like a freak
'Cause nobody can handle me for more than a week
I'm feeling low
And I wish that I could go
Back in time and fix my shit
'Cause now I'm just
Now I'm just
Now I'm just
A bad seed

I'd always wanted to film something in another language, and this seemed like a great opportunity to do that. My friend Yanni (boi) is fluent in Greek, and I decided to utilize this skill for this short. I really wanted to drive home the idea of feeling isolated and alone at a show. A language barrier was 1 way to establish this. It wouldn't have felt hyperbolic enough without it. Anyone that has gone to a show by themself has probably gone through the routine Yanni goes through in this short. Hiding in the bathroom, texting on your phone, smoking a cigarette, leaving early due to back pain...

With any of my videos, there is never a direct route to the concept, and that remains true with this one. I originally wanted to do a music video for this song because it provided a lot of good imagery to work with for visuals. I was thinking things like candy and bright lights. Outside of that, nothing was really coming to us organically.
Less than a month before I was rolling through Lancaster to film, I got the idea to do a video with 2 Aprils, kinda acting as a follow up to the last music video we did together in which April summoned an evil version of herself and tortured it with a Voodoo doll. This music video would be April having to live with the new evil version of herself. I've filmed a little bit with dual people before, such as in the aforementioned Apes video, and a video with Matt Pless.
A primary piece of reference I used was that Netflix show Living With Myself, in which Paul Rudd plays his character and his character's clone. We borrowed a lot of shot ideas from that show, and if you watch the last episode of that season, you will be able to see our exact points of reference.

You're so sweet you hurt my teeth when I bite down, bite down
And it's not right but it hurts so good for right now, right now
But you're always right so we're gonna have a fight now, right now
Yeah you're always right, Hows it feel to be so right
Would you just listen, you never listen when I'm talking now I'm screaming and I'm throwing things again
You know I love you but I hate it when you act like this
And I'll hide my feelings, say I don't feel anything
But we both know I'm lying, I feel everything at once
Fell so hard must have hit my head on the way down, way down
Cause otherwise there's not way I'd tolerate all the bullshit that you spew from your mouth
We can both be so mean when we want to so why don't we let go and let it all out?
I will tear down the walls of this house if I have to and you have the nerve to say that I should be more nice
Well I think you should take your own advice since you're always right
And you met your match cause so am I
Would you just listen, you never listen when I'm talking now I'm screaming and I'm throwing things again
You know I love you but I hate it when you act like this
And I'll hide my feelings, say I don't feel anything
But we both know I'm lying, I feel everything at once
Would you just listen, you never listen when I'm talking now I'm screaming and I'm throwing things again
You know I love you but I hate it when you act like this
You're like the middle of my back where I can't reach I can't scratch you off so you're always part of me
Won't you get up off my back, yea you're always on my
Middle of my back where I can't reach I can't scratch you off so you're always part of me
Would you just listen, You never listen when I'm talking now I'm screaming and I'm throwing things again
You know I love you but I hate it when you act like this
Just because you're feeling low, makes you think I'm talking down
Would you just listen, you never listen when I'm talking now I'm screaming and I'm throwing things
Would you just listen, you never listen when I'm talking now I'm screaming and I'm throwing things again
You know I love you but I hate it when you act like this
And I'll hide my feelings, say I don't feel anything
But we both know I'm lying, I feel everything at once, I feel everything at once, I feel everything
You're so sweet you hurt my teeth

Good Ol' Punx is a fun light hearted web series centered around the common struggles associated with being part of the diy underground music scene. With relatable, lovable characters and easily digestible vignettes perfect for the post-modem attention span, Good Ol' Punx is an affectionate caricature of a sometimes frustrating creative landscape which, like the series itself, is made for punx, by punx.

This is the 1st episode, but it was the 4th one filmed. The primary inspiration for this episode was the "Charlie Work" episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It is all one, continuous real take. The purpose of this episode was to show the kind of chaos that comes with being in a DIY then, and that part of that chaos is simply organizing all the band members to be on the same page, even for something as simple as getting to a show. It stars my friends in the band Tail Light Rlebellion, and was filmed at my friend Richards house witch will also be used in upcoming Matt Pless music video.
I chose this as the first episode to show because it seemed like a good introduction to the world that this all takes place in. This whole season is based around 1 show, and this seemed like a good introductory point from a narrative structure to say, "Alright, let's get this shit started."
**
Episode 2 of Good Ol' Punx was actually the first one conceived and shot. I think anybody that has been a show booker or promoter can relate to receiving one of these e-mails. Brandon and I scrolled through our own booking e-mails and used that as inspiration to make sure we hit every single cliche while writing this. Some of the bits aren't even jokes, just actual requests we had received in e-mails.
I styled it the same as the end of each episode of Doogie Howser because it felt like a good setting to place someone in that seemed very innocent and wide-eyed. Also take note of the 4:3 aspect ratio, which was the same as the TV show 😎

This video rose from the ashes of a completely different concept/project that we've currently got on the shelf. And it almost didn't happen at all due to our busy schedules! Emily and I got on the phone the day before shooting this, and laid the groundwork for what this became. The only way we were able to have time to film it was if I woke up at 10am on a day I wasn't working, which was the worst thing ever.
Knowing we were working with limited resources, we worked with what we had- a house and friends to be in a video. After playing around with a few different shooting styles, I thought it looked most interesting to have minimal movement with the camera trucking left or right. It almost made her looks like a wax figure in some shots. This combined with her (wrongly) going household chores and a desaturated color, juxtaposed with bright happy shots of the band playing a show- made for not a bad music video considering all the scrambling we did to make it happen!

Grumpster is one of those bands I knew I wanted to do a music video for as soon as I heard them. I reached out and was promptly replied with a yes! Right off the bat they seemed to know Roots was a song they wanted to use for their next video. Our initial reference was "Macy's Day Parade" by Green Day. I knew they wanted something dry and mundane feeling, but I still wanted it to be visually interesting enough to engage the viewers since it's a longer song.
A lot of our shots were very deliberate in choice. We knew we wanted to have Donnie singing, so we outlined exactly which shots he would be singing in, then plotted out the remaining shots based around that. I used our shot design to highlight feelings of isolation, being trapped, being out of place, and standing still. Noel and Lalo are moving in a lot of their shots, juxtaposed with Donnie who isn't moving in a lot of his shots. The shot where Donnie moves in most is the one in which we see the Grumpster patch.
I liked the idea of using the key change at the end of the song to have the full band finally playing together in the same room. It acts as a great punctuation to a long, redundant day for everybody. They play around a single light bulb to create a sanctuarylike vibe. Their band represents a place they can all go to to get away from the mundanities of everyday life.

Any time I think I feel at home again
I hit the ground running 'til I'm gone
I've spent the past few months stuck in my own head
Just 'cause I can't connect with anyone
My legs are restless, eyes are heavy, set me free
From this feeling I have learned is discontent
I'm out of gas, I'm out of cash, but now I see
I was never really broken, I was bent
I ask myself the same question most every day
Why no one really makes much sense to me
I guess that's why I always want to run away
Smoke from bridges burnt too thick to see
My legs are restless, eyes are heavy, set me free
From this feeling I have learned is discontent
I'm out of gas, I'm out of cash, but now I see
I was never really broken
(I was never really broken)
I was bent
I find myself at peace being uprooted
Can't stay in the same place for very long
I always feel alone even when in a crowd
I'd rather just hang out with my dog
My legs are restless, eyes are heavy, set me free
From this feeling I have learned is discontent
I'm out of gas, I'm out of cash, but now I see
I was never really broken
My legs are restless, eyes are heavy, set me free (Set me free)
From this feeling I have learned is discontent (Discontent)
I'm out of gas, I'm out of cash, but now I see (Now I see)
I was never really broken
(Never really broken)
I was never really broken
I was bent

I had been chasing after Nick to do a video for one of his projects for a while now. We were able to align our schedules on the 3rd time as I hit the Bay area to see some friends and work on other projects too. We went through a couple ideas and concepts, but the band arrived at this one as a final pitch. I took to it immediately because it seemed like a fun, open ended concept shot in a way I hadn't shot any of my other videos before.
This is one of my favorite songs off their self-titled LP. Go scoop it, it's a really solid record!

After droppin' out of art school,
moving here from Baltimore,
she'd gotten married to the wrong man
I feel so ignored!
Just like back home in Minnesota,
with your purple hair tied up,
you ate acid in a bathtub
and told me all about love.
I think I was 16, I think you were 23.
I listened to slayer, you sang:
"Hi diddle dee dee, goddamn the pirates life for me, goddamn the pirates life for me!"
But you're not the only girl that I wish I could've kissed
in my anthrax shirt on the graveyard shift. (x2)
You ordered a drink, and I just sat and stared at you
I had found you hopeless, you had found me hopeless too.
You passed me your drink, with no idea what to do, I had found you hopeless, you were oh so fucking hopeless.
It hurt to see you cry, with that final glass of wine,
I haven't seen you since we started workin' overtime
There are people in our lives, who we need from time to time, only know 'em for the summer, but it feels perfectly fine.
After droppin' out of art school,
movin' here from Baltimore,
she'd gotten married to the wrong man
I feel so ignored!
Just like back home in Minnesota,
purple mohawk, fuckin' drunk,
you ate acid in a bathtub
and told me all about love.

April approached me to do a lyric video for them. I had my hands super full at the time so I was only a little into the idea. Then I got the idea, oh hey what if I just make it all in an IM conversation?? That’ll be fun and easy and only take a few hours.
I got through the first verse and figured since it mentioned Facebook, I’ll put it in a Facebook status! And once I did that, the flood gates were opened and I knew I had to make a web page for each verse. April would occasionally get a message from me like “hey do you mind if I use this facebook photo of you from 11 years ago,” and had no idea what was going on. The Windows XP intro/closing were the last bits added, everything else was made in order. It took me about 5 days of on/off work and I’m super stoked about how it came out!

I am allergic to bees
But I'd be lying if I said they weren't the prettiest thing I'd ever seen
And I think you'd agree
That I think you're the sweetest most genuine human being
And I'm pretty sure I'm falling fast
And I hope that this feels right
So please make sure the door is locked
And please don't kiss me goodnight
I think you're pretty neat
But I'd be lying if I said I don't often get cold feet
And I think you'd like me
If I wasn't such a fucked up mental mess of a human being
And I'm pretty sure I'm falling fast
And I think that this feels right
So please be safe, my heart's unlocked
And please just kiss me goodnight

Erica and I had been talking about doing a music video for a long time (years), and we finally were able to make it work out last October as she was on the road. She showed up at my door with some paint, some buckets, and brushes, and said she had an idea for a video.

The 2nd video filmed with Crazy and the Brains in Winter 2019. Originally we were talking about doing a video album for their album “Into The Ugly.” We had an entire outline and shooting schedule, but weren’t able to make it work the way we wanted to. Still interesting in making some video, we filmed this.
The idea came all from front-man Christoph. It drew inspiration from creepy looking 80s music videos. He described a sort of party, or meeting of a secret society where you weren’t sure what’s going on, and he looks uncomfortable the entire time.
I make no secret about it, that Crazy and the Brains are one of my favorite bands. They put in an incredible performance, with a unique sound, and smooth n catchy lyrics. Seeing Chris flip a switch between his everyday persona and his on-stage persona is unlike anything else I’ve seen; Make sure ya don’t miss them if they come to your town.
My favorite thing in this video is seeing the band do their thing in the tall grass. Chris has an infectious energy when he performs that I feel is captured really well in this video.
