Candace Roberts -- Not My City Anymore (Official Video)
Candace Roberts -- Take Back Your Beaver (Official Video)Put down those razors and step into a world of saccharine-sweet pastels, Pepto-Bismol pink glitter and oversized black merkins. At first glance 'Take Back Your Beaver' presents as a mishmash of dating-gone-wrong and public humiliation due to a loathsome quantity of pubic hair. But in actuality, it's one woman's attempt to incite the beaver revolution or just be in her body however she chooses to be. This one was an absolute blast to work on. Hope you dig it!
Chuck Prophet: The Freckle SongI had the privilege of being in the studio for the bulk of the Soap And Water recording sessions. The Freckle video captures the energy of Prophet and company pulling the album together and is an assemblage of behind the scene moments filmed during the sessions. The video is sprinkled with a lot of 16mm footage to spice things up a little.Music video for Chuck Prophet from his Soap and Water cd.
Dream Syndicate: That's What You Always SayBack in 1986, Dana Mendelssohn and I shot a film of the might Dream Syndicate performing their classic song That's What You Always Say. Due to the technology of the time, we were never able to properly sync up the film. I recently incorporated a bit of the footage in my Out of Print film. That gave me the impetus to try to finish the film. I hunkered down in front of my computer and spent about 10 hours editing it all together. It's a blistering version of the song, with strings shredding all over the place. This may have been the first music performance I ever shot. It's rough around the edges but captures the times better than most of the video and cable access shoots that were used to document the scene at the time. It's from the pit in glorious and grainy black & white super 8.Credits: Shot by Danny Plotnick & Dana Mendelssohn, 1986. Edited by Danny Plotnick, 2008
