Damaged Story
2 months ago
Another informercial from the archives. I cut this one to Brett Grace's original music Damaged Story (we collaborate on songs but not this one). Like my video She's My Mechanical Bride I continue with the themes of desires and consuming, among other things. The wackiness in these old advertisements are truly something but in this one I have to say the decor is what got me hooked- it is simply smashing. There is no fancy editing here - this was more about having certain visual moments coincide with the music. Hope you enjoy.

The production blends great, just great with your music.
Now to mention the production: the original is brilliant concept by artists who had almost none of the special effects we control today by mere mouse clicks. Everything is a Paradise Promised by consumerism. You can see the hidden sponsorships: Ford, Bell Telephone, Frigidaire, etc---without a single crass logo. It's all about the climb toward a perfect, materialistic life, one that most of us today still pursue; only the styles have changed.
Ah, for those halcyon days before seat belts (j/k).
I once rolled right out of a moving, 1950 Chevy. I was five.
Grandmother took a left turn at 15 per as I pushed the shiny door opening button. No harm, though, I landed in that soft green 1950s grass swale, and instead of a bump or bruise, I only got dreams from the accident. Dreams of not dying young. So far, so good, ah yes!
Nice work!
