Sandy Denny - "By The Time It Gets Dark"

Did you know that Sandy Denny is the only guest vocalist to ever appear on a Led Zepplin album?

CORTEZ

Let's Go, Coyote! - "Cortez" from Jordan Bee on Vimeo.

This video took forrreeevvveeerrrr. I filmed it on my trusty VHS camcorder in May of 2009. Then I exported it as 2,600 images. Then I edited each frame individually. I finished it last night (almost a year and a half later). I didn't work on it steadily this whole time, but it still took a long long time.

Little ego hugs are nice.

My friend Claire showed me a blog that did a really nice write up of the Toro Y Moi tour documentary. Thanks for the kind words Kitsune Noir!

Then I googled myself and found a "Here We Go Magic" video that said I had done something similar to the video at hand, but six months prior.

I bet in a year I will google myself and find an article that says VHS music docs are soooo 2010 and I will just be an obscure joke to the cool indie video-making community. Or maybe the joke is on me and I already am. Unfortunately, the format isn't an artistic choice (it's the only video camera I have), but maybe soon I will get a job, have some money, and can afford a nice camera allowing me to do something aesthetically different.

Until then, VHS-ahoy!
