AMAZING! Can you believe that director Ross Ching wasn’t paid for this? He just did it because he’s a fan of Death Cab & photography. He is actually looking for some work, if you are wanting to do a music video… he’s pretty much the man for it.

David explains the video:

“For this video, I pulled out every time lapse, stop motion and live action camera trick that I could think of. It took me about 2 weeks. The goal was to create a fresh, new direction to take my work to. The Eclectic Series has fared well, but that was all in the past. It’s time to look ahead. Live action narrative is where I would truly like to be producing content, but on the internet, it’s just too difficult to stand out from the pack making movies with a video camera. Moreover, time lapse and tilt-shift (shot with a still camera) are becoming more and more prevalent on the internet. Therefore I spent weeks and weeks to come up with a new, original idea and landed on this concept.

If you don’t count the camera equipment that I already had, I spent about $75 on the entire project. Mostly for gas and props.”
