I really like this song, and others by Saul Williams. I discovered him initially from an appearance on a Blackalicious album ("Release" from Blazing Arrow). Then I rediscovered him after Zach saw him live and gave me the CD. I liked this song for a while and wanted to do a lip dub, but somehow I didn't feel right doing it in NYC.
In a Reykjavic graveyard, though... it was like, "yeah, this feels right, let's shoot it, Anna!" and we walked back to the hotel, I practiced a few times in the mirror, and we went back and shot it.

(are you replacing it because the audio was off? it is being converted now but I just watched it)
This is better simply because.
Badmalone, hi.
Hey Anna- are you dizzy from turning in circles? :D
I was going to insert some expletives above as a joke but had enough fun on my own.
I covet that camera. Covet. Covet. Covet.
Jake: Did you guys spend time talking about what youd do before hand she seemed prepared to follow you throughout the whole thing... Pretty awesome!
:-)!
I loved the video and the song was great. Saul Williams is my little brother's favorite spoken word artist. There's a hard-cover book of his poetry in the Princeton Univ. library that was signed by him. It would have cost my brother over a hundred dollars to keep the book and report it missing.
And I agree with Steadman, the part @ 4:18 when you go off frame and then back in.... pure gold.
list of demands could work in NYC i think
2. Perfectly wrong song choice. I love it.
It was amazing.
i've heard of saul williams before, but never heard anything. definitely going to check him out now.
Nice work Jakob!
Your lipdubs inspire me so much. I've been insperation-less for a week now.
Thanks!
Dude that was a brilliant song.
Great Job.
I'd love to hear you doing this song A cappella
1. Anna's camera work has elevated the lip -dub to a higher art form.
2. It's beautiful, but as a brown-colored type person,It gives me pause... but still it's really quite lovely.
The Madame CJ walker reference, understanding the "paper-bag" test, the stuff that exists within the black community. I'm not making a definitive judgement, "pause" is not a bad-thing Birthday Boy, Thinking... C'est Bon. Art should = dialogue
there is an appreciation/appropriation thing sometimes.
