This is a music video we did for for the lovely artist Emmon. Me (Mike/The Midi Theif), Anders, Mattias Holmer (Shoot Stockholm) and Emma spent some long hours in a green screen studio that is used for “Ordjakten” or was it maybe one of the other cheesy day time word puzzle shows? Then several more hours adding VJ graphics and doing the post edit of the video. We learnt a lot about green screening in combination with video compression and a crash course in how to edit a music video. It was lovely dealing with Emma. Never the less, we said “we’re never doing a music video again” by the end of the project. We just have to see about that… The video was released in april 2007.

On the way from Stockholm to Pixelache in Helsinki we decided that it would be a good idea to rehearse in our cabin. So we went down to the conference center to borrow some extension cords. The result is this never seen before documentary footage. Abelton + Modul8 + strobe light + lots of cords + madness. Date: March 29th, 2007.
