Allison Schulnik's Video for Grizzly Bear's "Ready, Able"

Something I Shot

This is a music video for Alabama Public Television. As an educational lead up to our upcoming Sloss Furnaces documentary, our education producer had local artists contemporize older songs once sung in the mines and furnaces of Sloss. This is a contemporary version of "I Got a Man in the Bama Mine," originally by Merline Johnson and performed here by Kate Taylor and her band. Kate also stars in the video. The intention is to educate through music. This is not the educational cut, but my own. It's only slightly different. I cut out some parts that I thought were less successful, or too obvious, which are appropriate in the version intended for a younger audience. There was absolutely no budget. That's what's up with the fake money. We had a crew of three people trying to do what we needed 5 to 6 to accomplish. It was shot primarily on a borrowed jib with a monitor that was incompatible with our camera, so, we couldn't see anything the camera was capturing and basically had to guess. Oh, public television... That being said, I think it turned out pretty well!

Nujabes Music Video

new music video for a laid back nujabes track. the video is basically made up of people running in the most ridiculous, animated way they're capable, shot in super slow motion. it was shot with a Casio EXILIM EX-F1 camera. they're moderately affordable and shoot up to 1200fps. that's pretty fantastic for a pro-sumer.

Very Intense Music Video

This song is one of the reasons that the ending of Footloose is so awesome. I learned a good deal of my dance moves from that final scene and trust me they are always a hit. The other day I was trying to decide what songs to blip and I thought of this one. I did not blip it in the end, but I did enjoy the video. It's definitely a precursor to Sabotage.

Washed Out's "Feel it All Around"

this music video was produced by fiction for washed out's "feel it all around." it looks great because it was shot on a canon 5d mark ii. that's the way to do it. this is in the same vein as the memory cassette song, "surfin" that i posted a month or so ago. i love this vibe. it's a great way to start a day.

Mixtape.me Playlist!!

I have been looking for a new place to listen to music at work ever since Pandora started limiting free listening to 30 hrs a month. I recently came across a post on Gizmodo about Mixtape.me and I decided to give it a try. So far it seems pretty cool. You can choose what song you want to hear at any given moment. Mixtape.me also has a couple features that I have never seen in a music player. You can look at the song's
lyrics, find more information about the artist or song, and watch the music video directly on the site. So far it is limited in what music you can listen to, but I feel that this problem will go away once more people adopt this site. I will miss Pandora's music recommendations, but Mixtape.me allows you to search playlists that other members have created. Here is my first playlist.
