A mix of candid stories from inside the industry, illuminating anecdotes from the set, and the key bits of wisdom that won’t simply improve your movies, they might just improve your lives. PLUS if we have time we’ll do fun group activities! Approximately 100% wisdom and 0.001% dumb shit. Presented by the one and only industry giants Daniel and Daniel who have been working professionals in the music video and commercial industries for sortof one year or I guess a year and a half but it’s hard to figure out when to start counting so we can say two years to be safe so anyway they totally deserve to teach a workshop.

Tenacious D -Rize of the Fenix
the official music video rough cut
(now on vimeo)
OFFICIAL VIDEO: Tenacious D - Rize of the Fenix
(the new TD vid we made. Maybe the craziest thing we’ve ever tried.)
Tenacious D is mad at us! Their Facebook posted:
“Apparently some footage of our upcoming Rize of the Fenix video leaked somehow on Russian YouTube. Tenacious D does not encourage watching this footage. And we are hoping for an apology from the directors immediately.”
Since it’s out there. Why hide it? It’s true!?! http://rutube.ru/tracks/5569165.html
NO IDEA HOW FOOTAGE LEAKED. Sorry to the label and band (although why are they singling us out? Someone hacked our computer and we’re upset too!)
Rize of the Fenix = Worst Nightmare Movie
Houdini! by FOSTER THE PEOPLE
Starring: Gaetano Crupi (real and pretend producer), Candice Ouaknine (real and pretend executive producer), Hiro Murai as Daniel1, Dori Oskowitz as Daniel2, and Saul Levitz (the commissioner) as Saul Levitz (the manager).
Big Ups to: Leslie Guyton (choreographer), Ethan Feldbau the Design King, Larkin Seiple the DOP from heaven, and the hero of the day Jessie Fleece (Assistant Director/the real director/how on earth did we pull this off!?)
New video comes out in just a few days.
(get ready for lots of cameos from amazing music video makers!)
Awesome! A poster someone designed for our music video!? (with accurate crew credits at the bottom!)
Final @TheShins poster. I made this poster for a competition and when it wasn’t successful I figured that shouldn’t be where I leave it. So I changed the dimensions, extended the painting up and down and added some tweaks; eyes, shadows and tie. I also let some colour back in to it and reworked the texture overlays that I had previously used.
Instead of being a poster for The Shins’ ‘Port of Morrow’ Tour, it’s now just purely a tribute for the Daniels’ ‘Simple Song’ music video which, I actually prefer as I am in love with that video. Plus it makes a lot more sense this way.
I can now happily leave it alone, time to move on to my next poster project.
UPDATE: Just added in the video credits.
Here is the Warrior video (now on vimeo with a few director’s adjustments). Huge thanks to everyone who helped. Especially Larkin, Jon Wang, and Tim Eulich (heads of the look, the stuffs, and the stunts)
Thanks Mike mike
another killer vid from @DANIELSwastaken along with some bad ass stunts!
