Evan Way - "Maybe Tomorrow"
little-videos.com
May 23, 2009
Somewhere between Hollywood, Silver Lake, and Downtown, I met up with Evan Way at his house; an unassuming craftsman filled with a ragtag collection of 70's furniture, assorted knickknacks (including Russian nesting-dolls in the likeness of former Dodger greats), oil paintings and framed posters leaned against the walls, not to mention an assortment of stringed instruments (actually the house is Parson Redhead's bassist Aaron Ballard's, Evan just happens to live there along with a few other people). Way, The Parson Redhead's frontman, has been playing solo shows around the L.A. area as of late, filling out a seemingly non-stop run of dates between his various bands. He was milking a cup of tea this particular morning, fighting off something of a cold in preparation for a two-week West Coast swing by the Parsons with Cotton Jones.
Sitting down with just an acoustic guitar, stripped away from the wall of sound, four-part vocal…
Using intimate live performances with fellow songwriters Sufjan Stevens and Denison Witmer as a pathway, All the Way from Michigan Not Mars is a meditative exploration of Rosie Thomas’ work as it connects to her as a human being. Often raising more questions than answers, the film is a lyrical examination of Thomas’ quest for an expression of truth and her unique brand of performance; combining songs of plaintive melancholy with sharpwitted banter and Sheila, her bizarre stand-up comedian alter ego.
Featuring: Rosie Thomas, Sufjan Stevens, Denison Witmer, Damien Jurado and Sheila Saputo
Same Setup:
HV30 shooting 1080 24p though a Daniel's Achromat, Twoneil 35mm Adapter, and a cheap canon EF 50mm f1.8 Lens.
No HD this time (I used my one weekly allowance) and I had to compress this more then I'd have liked to.
The footage is again hand held and shaky.
Now I've got a better Idea how the Av and Tv setting work on this camera, but sill got a bit of flickering, perhaps I need to actually learn what pulldown means.
Music is by Damien Jurado - Montesano
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
