Making the Video

We had a little bit of a script and a little time... but we didn't have any money.

Here's how it went down: we needed a music video for Catchy Melody. We hired/asked our friends at Storied Productions to help us out. Fearless director, Josh Mcfall, took on the project without realizing how many ridiculous ideas Darcy would hurl his way. After a week he was a believer, but creating the storyline for the Catchy Melody was only half the battle... actually we would find out that it was not even close to half the battle. It was more like the plan for the battle, but what we found out about battles is that planning the battle is quite a bit easier that actually battling in the battle. So after much analogizing i finished the story.

we hit the streets of Denton with a camera and a dream. The first night of shooting went about 4 hours longer than we had planned. At the end of the night we were sweaty, tired, hungry, and happy... just like the end of our tour this summer, except for the happy part. Anyway, the second day of shooting was just as wild and spectacular as the first. we shot a huge party scene in the basement of J&J's pizza. Ironically Darcy has never even played there,  but it will forever hold a special pizza shaped place in our hearts and stomachs.

with the first few shots out of the way we were sure the shooting would end some time the next week. little did we know that action shots such as a West Side Story remake and a Charlie Chaplain mock-up would take days and weeks and years to shoot!

after 1 and 1/2 months or rigorous shooting, we finially finished and the editing began... BUT NOW we dare say, the video is finished and ready to air at our Boiler Room show on Sept. 10th.

here's a peek behind the scenes of our video. If you can't make the showing, don't worry. we'll send you the youtube link and you can watch it over and over until you either die or just get sick of it.
