I made this in 2003. The music was made by Rjyan (ROBYAN on Vimeo) after he got some new equipment. I also let him borrow my camera (Canon GL-1) for a day or two, and some of these shots are his. Those include when he's combing his hair, and the wine glasses.

I like when Josh is playing piano and Jessica is in the background, but you can't hear the piano. There's something weird about seeing and instrument without hearing it.

I was too scared to put my own raps in there, so it's just footage of Josh kind of stumbling but actually sounding pretty good.

Then the dance. You can see Ray Raposa from the band Castanets on crutches. And Robin and Shawn are dancing.

Robin tells the story of the Two-Heady Teddy, who is sort of the Vimeo mascot. When I first told her about the bear, she thought I was saying my mom got it for me, but really I was saying that I had bought it myself when I was at Ikea, for like $3.

I worked in the video glitches that were on the tape. My GL-1 was getting kind of grody towards the end and there would be lots of glitches.

Then Rjyan is goofing off, that's from the video we made for his song Take Pills. Then Mira and Lexie show up and Mira licks the camera. Then Eric pushes Rjyan.

That last shot of the party is backwards. Then you can see Josh playing piano but it's at 1% opacity.

    It's a good spot for filming music vids.

    I like his hair, it reminds me of the commercial where the guy combs his beard over his head. Also, Josh is ridiculous on the piano - that's so impressive!

    Jake, can you put an mp3 of this song up online? I don't have a copy of it and now I want one.
  • wreckandsalvage 2 years ago
    Yeah, the music is really good.

    Is there a way to hear your songs (album to buy or whatever ) ?
  • Jakob Lodwick 2 years ago
    Back when Vimeo was an "Automatic Movie Machine", this was one of the built-in songs that could play alongside your clips. So, I don't need to put it online because it's still at its original location:

    remyyy: yeah, typing "Cex" into iTunes works pretty good, typing "Cex" into Soulseek works even better ;)

    I melt everytime I see Josh playing the piano--and that's saying alot, considering that I couldn't even hear the piano this time.

    I like the wallpaper in the wine glass scene as well.

    As always, really cool!
    Do you find it strange watching these as they are now about 4 years old? I find i always get freaked out watching stuff that happened a while ago.
  • Jakob Lodwick 2 years ago
    Yeah, it's pretty weird.

    Another great step in the "sinister"direction for your vidblogs, which I tend to like more. Maybe because I don't need to know as much about your life and the context to appreciate them as a funny vidblog?

    This one is more uniform in mood, which is nice. there are less funny clips as other videos, so the whole thing feels more consistent.

    great choice of music for this. with our ever decreasing attention spans, choosing the right audio for video goes a long way. i'd like to see more like this. my favorite part is when the water comes out of his mouth.

  • dalas verdugo 2 years ago
    Ahh, the old GL-1 and it's many glitches.

    How come you didn't mention the cameo by Jim Carrey at the end?

    I love this. It's great. I can't explain the way it makes me feel, but it just, well, it's moving, I guess. Great stuff.
