the adventures of an in-action hero or new uses for old curtains.



I have worked with jack carty for years doing a lot of his design work
some of which are my fave things i have done and in fact my first video
clip was supposed to be with jack , making an epic space tug boat video,
but alas that never happened . So when he asked me to work on a video for
his latest catchy indie hit " she's got a boyfriend " i jumped at the chance.
The song is very direct so there was no escaping jack would serve as some form
or narrator in the clip but finding a hook proved challenging ..until i struck
upon the idea that jack saw the boyfriend as a arch nemesis something akin to
Louis dating Lex luthor ..from there it was a fun romp making our hero as home made
and pathetic as possible..i drew a lot of inspiration from Daniel clowes and
from a lot of what if questions i had asked myself over the years.

The result is was an incredibly fun video that wears its silliness on its
home made sleeve and was such a joy to shoot ..( behind the scenes pics coming soon )
