Trippy.
Mario and I decided it would be fun to do a music video about flowers… and luckily one of my oldest friend’s wrote an amazing song that I feel works well with us goofing around in the backyard. Oh, how I love personal videoblogging… so carefree.
what a smokin goofball
I LOVED it! Amanda, you looked so glamourous… and Mario, I frakking love your editing (especially the center strip at the middle of the video… ingenious).
when was it recorded?
it looks too warmn for january… to me.
hey brem,
It was recorded over the weekend… and actually it has been pretty cold here .. for LA that is… in the 40s and 50s…
That was cool I love the song. It really matched the video perfectly. That was some excellent cinematography. Love your dancing and thats a nice backyard. Yes its sunny in California but their is a breeze at night…
Great stuff guys… Worked perfectly with Love Astronaut!
Great job you two. Mario I agree with Casey, great editing. Music videos are my favorite type of videos to edit. Amanda was lovely as always. Especially coming from her week of taser sickness. Keep up the good work guys, your a great team.
Hmm. This video kinda’ freaked me out.
great song, fun video, good times
First of all, I’m thinking you should have added … don’t get tasered … to the list.
Great job Andrew – I began levitating half way through.
Also, I definitely sensed the skilled Mario camera work there.
Great video!
Perfect for you – you can be in front of the camera doing the dance for 5 mins. Now please leave ABC news. Thank you.
I can just imagine you as a kid in front of the camera. It’s always all about amanda it seems.
Best episode of starring ever. Loved it, makes me happy.
Neat and super fun, part of me wants to know what word was bleeped, not sure why. I guess ’cause I saw a story on how a colorful word was used on a CNN website; “Sounds like a rips**t videogame…”, according to jalopnik.com, but the bleep made my smile so it’s all good.
Interesting, though to be honest I’m slightly disappointed that the official Amanda Congdon dance (circa 1-year-an anniversary episode of rocketboom) didn’t make it in here somewhere… I still watch that and crack up every time! You’re too adorable, Amanda.
I really liked the beginning, when she leaves the house and looks out on her new world.
The glamorous shots of her face.
The floral shots are particularly well done.
The song kept the video moving.
Things I liked less:
Her sitting at the table. Why are we looking at the soles of her feet?
When she’s walking down the alley, it’s so backlit.
The really closeup shots when her face is blurry.
But these are minor compared with what I liked.
Is this blog still sponsored by dove?
Hi Yoshi,
The dove sponsorship was a one month deal which revolved around their user generated commercial campaign. The submission deadline for these commercials was Jan 15… so the last video they sponsored was our Jan 12 vid.
Whooo-hooo!!!
This was truly AWESOME.
Cheers
Ooh. I want to DL that song. Anyone know where I can get it?
[...] Tuesday, February 6, 2007 at 3:17 pm A few weeks ago, Amanda Congdon made a video about flowers in the Californian winter, dancing to the music of Murder Mystery’s Love Astronaut. I like it a lot. Here it is.
