Fellowman - Run Straight Down - Video Shot by boyinabox prod. and Fellowman

Cullen Wade's (Fellowman) tribute to Warren Zevon. I think it's quite awesome, and pretty sure I would think so if I came across it randomly.

I had the privilege to work on the video production, handling principal photography and a good bit of the b-roll, as well as creative collaboration and locations scouting. I can't take credit for a few of the atmospheric statics or opening vine crawl shot, though I would like to. The technical highlight of the shoot was our innovative, no-budget "dolly" set up. It was pure guerrilla filmmaking at it's finest and dirtiest. That's right, we weren't using a gimbal or monopod - straight old school.  

Always a natural, fun and enlightening experience when boy in a box productions gets to collaborate with Fellowman on such projects. He gets full conceptual credit on this one. I was just there to assist a cool vision, and so impressed with what Cullen did with the edit to create the final video.

Thought for the Day - From an Unapologetic Gen X'er

Yes, this really is the first thing that I decide to post in 9 months.  Actually, many posts are awaiting, just held up by pure Slacker mode (a shout out to all the Gen X'ers).
Check out the article below.  I've been waiting for an excuse to post this ever since it popped up on their website.


Link:  NPR:  25 Years Later: Was 1993 The Greatest Year In Music?

umm, of course it was - one of my personal favorites at least.  So much authentic, innovative music at one moment that includes and extends beyond what is discussed in the article.  Extraordinary year in so many genres and sub genres, from rock (um, grunge?) to metal to punk to hip-hop to jam band (felt obligated to include), and so much more.
