1Jackie Will Save MeGhostTownExitHouse of Yes (1997)Shiny Toy Guns03:59I feel like this is one of my first attempts at making a more atmospheric vid, as well as an early experiment in working with a relatively static source. vid on YouTube
2EuropeanGhostTownExitGLOWLydia Loveless04:37I really like how the narrative arc of this vid came together, and just how much fun footage I was able to get from the show.vid on YouTube
3Hollywood Forever CemeteryGhostTownExitBuzzfeed UnsolvedFather John Misty03:10Every greatest hits album needs new material, and this here is a premiere. A sort of jangley, roadtrippy ode to the Ghoul Boys, as well as a gift to sweetestdrain. vid on YouTube
4Rock N' RollGhostTownExitHenry and June (1990)The Sounds03:10I, perhaps strangely, read a great deal of Anais Nin in high school. So, if nothing else, this vid is an ode to some formative influences that shaped my sensiblities.vid on YouTube
5You Dropped a Bomb on MeGhostTownExitDr. Strangelove/ Atomic Cafe (1964/1982)The Gap Band03:33This vid sort of came together in the reverse order of how I normally do things: I built the vid around the song, rather than using the song to complement the visuals. I think the result is something of a different feel, a bit more loose and associative, from my other vids. vid on YouTube
6Body DamageGhostTownExitCrash (1996)Goldfrapp03:41This was my first vid to show at Vividcon, and works as a pretty good introduction to the weird, enduring obsessions that would crop up in my later vids. vid on YouTube
7EvilGhostTownExitThe Neon Demon (2016)Ladytron03:58Those who know me know I'm a sucker for anything glossy and shiny, so it's no surprise that I'd find this movie fertile ground. vid on YouTube
8What Else is There?GhostTownExitPan (2003)Royksopp03:37Another more recent vid. I did this as a gift in the Equinox exchange, and liked getting to play with the source's dreamy, surreal imagery. vid on YouTube
9Running Up That HillGhostTownExitRiverdale/ Crimson Peak (2015)Chromatics05:36I've always really enjoyed constructed reality vids, and this is probably the one I really enjoyed making the most to date. vid on YouTube
