Our First Music Video

It takes a special band to make their first video before their first gig. We are just such a band.

This weekend, instead of our normal practice, Tom decided we should record our brand new song "Is it live or is it Maxwell House," and then make a video out of it using his sweet new camera. It is here:

You really should check it out. Not only are we pretty proud of the song, but the video is somewhat humorous and the quality amazing, due to Tom's swank new camera. Yes, we've got HD.

Also, Steelers won so that's like a double-dose of sweet.

  1. That's pretty, did you use an EOS 5D?

  2. Yep! It's Tom's new camera that he is extremely proud of.

    I believe it's a 5D mk II, so I guess there are earlier 5Ds that didn't take video.

  4. Ha ha! Thanks a lot! We had a total blast making it, although Tom did all the hard non-blasty stuff like editing.

  5. Ha, yeah, you definitely got the funner experience on balance. But, I frequently dig my own such graves. I actually enjoy the creative process of putting it together a lot (most of it), it was just the 8 hours of trying to beat the damn software into not crashing in myriad ways. I am learning and have a decent workaround, so next time will be better.

  6. Wow! I can't believe how good that looks - thank god for Vimeo and their generous non-compressed video. It sounds awesome too! I hope you guys get that job as city comptroller, I know how you've been pining after it.

  7. Vimeo is definitely the sweet, although I guess now YouTube is starting to have HD video, so I guess they might get better too.

    To be honest though, I can't believe the video looks so good. I think we can only attribute it to Tom, Tom's camera, and Tom's lighting skills.
