“We shot the video over 2 weekends this past summer. The majority of it is set in Olympia where most of the band is from. We did pick-up shots in Georgetown (south of Seattle). We wanted to give the video a gritty, punk feel so we shot on16mm film and tried to stick to the alleys and rougher looking locations. We shot handheld to increase the energy/action.
The dogs just happened to be at the location we chose for the fight scene (Lit Fuse Tattoo shop in Olympia) these were probably some of my favorite shots.
The most exciting shots to get had to be driving alongside the skater as she skated down the new 4th Ave bridge in Olympia. We were trying to time it so we didn’t block too much traffic.
It started raining just when we finished setting up for the first shot of the punk rocker. We decided the rain would be a cool look so we went with it. It rained the entire time we were shooting his part.”
Jeff Tillotson at Flying Spot did the film transfer and color correction.
