Dossey "In Your Eyes" Directed by Peter Longno 
Dossey, an electronic/pop artist based in Austin, TX in collaboration with DP/Director Peter Longno. This music video is all done with practical effects while experimenting what would light do to the environment if spun around continuously. 

Go Fever "Folk Zero" Directed by Zachary Scott 
Acey Monaro the front woman of Go Fever is a badass! When I met with her and her husband Ben Burdick(also a badass) to discuss collaborating on a music video, I knew after five minutes we would make something super rad! The idea of a woman living out of her car getting wasted all the time, came from a conversation I had with Acey when she told me about the first time she smoked weed as a kid in her native land of Australia. Plus we both love X-files. The more we talked and had a few, the idea of a doppelgänger popped up and battling your own demons. We mushed them together and there you go.

DRAKULAS "VHS" Directed by Justin Wilson 
Drakulas were inspired to recreate a 1981 public access television performance of " Janitor" by a band called Suburban Lawns. Our video for "VHS" is an homage to not only that video, but also to the format it was shot on. We shot "VHS" on S-VHS tape. 

Card on Spokes "Ribbon Tooth' Directed by Sara Gouveia 
"Ribbon Tooth" is a neo-noir music video where we observe a young woman struggling with writer’s block as she is forced to face the paradoxical dreamlike nature of her own existence. Following a period of internal distress, she finally crosses the line that separates her inner and outer worlds in the hope to find the answers she longs for. "Ribbon Tooth" features on Card On Spokes' EP "As We Surface".

Chuck Berry "Big Boys" Directed by Matt Bizer and Curtis Wayne Millard 
Chuck Berry is one of the pioneers of this little genre of music called Rock N Roll and he has never done a music video so the whole experience was surreal to say the least. Our only goal for the video was to make it fun. Chuck Berry tunes are a good time and they tell stories that everyone can relate with, so we wanted to stay true to that.

The aesthetic of the video is obviously a tip of the hat to that golden era but it is very modern too. When working with the choreographer Jeremy Green on the dance portion of piece we said we wanted a hybrid of 1950's swing and Hip-Hop, and that philosophy carried on into the styling and the way we shot and edited the video.

The production was shot an hour north of Atlanta in marble country at the Old Tate Gym which was built in the 1920's and the exteriors where shot in Jasper, Ga. the community was very supportive and helpful in many aspects of the production, they where all just delighted the production was happening in their community and went out of their way to help us in any way they could. We found our classic cars and exterior location by simply having lunch at a diner there in Jasper, GA when one of the locals asked us 'what we where doing in town' by the time we left the diner I had 4 classic cars and a vintage gas station and a free lunch locked in... Everyone in that town was fantastic!

A lot of surreal things happened during the coarse of this production. When we where shooting the video Chuck Berry was still with us and during post production we found out he has passed on. We did not know how to really process it all. In a way I think we are still processing the entire experience. To add to it all... on top of Chuck's passing another person who was very instrumental to the music video passed away as well. We were having a hard time casting a few of the key members of the house band in the music video and we where getting very close to the first day of shooting, so I called in a favor to an ol buddy who was tapped in to that Atlanta music scene, Drivin N Cryin' front man Kevn Kinney. Kevn said "you know who could help you with this is Col. Bruce" I knew he was talking about the legendary Col. Bruce Hampton. To me Col. Bruce was more of a Mythical character than a dude that I could get on the phone with. But Kevn was right within minutes after vibing out with Col. Bruce my phone was blowing up with text from some of the heaviest cats in Atlanta's music scene... Col. Bruce Hampton really helped make this video special, and before I got to thank him in person another very unexpected event happened shortly after finishing the music video... on Col. Bruce's 70th birthday show, during the encore performance of the show he collapsed on stage and passed away. The entire production of working on Chuck Berry's Big Boys music video has been a surreal mix of bliss, disbelief and some sadness. We are beyond honored!
