History

In February 2001 I discovered the world of NLE (Non-Linear video Editing). I got a $50 gift certificate from CompUSA for my birthday, so with it I purchased an ATI All in wonder video capture card for $49.99. I then searched for editing software that was easy to use. Vegas Video by Sonic Foundry (Now owned by Sony) was by far the easiest and cheapest software I found.

  It took about a month to put the video for Empty together into it’s final form. There was a small learning curve for the software but capturing analog video on a computer with a 10 gig hard drive takes a while. I took the video footage from a VHS tape of our first west coast tour and several other shows that were already on the tape. So there are several cities that show up in this video including;

  Vancouver B.C. – The Columbia Hotel
Olympia, WA. – The Capitol Theatre
Sacramento, CA. – The Press Club (R.I.P)
Reno, NV. – Redrum Room
Las Vegas, NV. – The Cooler Lounge
Albuquerque, NM. – The Launch Pad

History

In early March 2002 I aquired a Sony VX-1000 digital video camera. It was perfect timing because the band was going into the studio the following week, and a gig at The Rock Sport in West Seattle the week after. Between the two hours that were shot I managed to squeeze out enough footage to make a video for Blinded by Greed. After getting the body of the video done I felt something was still missing. So I put together a “Still Animation” for the beginning using Mapquest Aerial Photos. I thought it would be fun to fly into the Rock Sport from space. Since I couldn’t put something together in 3D I used still photos and cross faded them together. For the end I tried to come up with a single image that would say Blinded By Greed, hence the dollar bill with George Washington blindfolded.

History

WHO WANTS TO SEE HODGY GET KILLED!?!?!?!
This was a fun video to make even though I didn't intend to release this one. I didn't really have enough video footage to put this together, but the rest of the band like what came out of it. Not to mention it was funnier than hell.
One night at practice Shannon, Hodgy and I decided to go outside and shoot some video. Shannon had the idea about dressing up like a MADMAN with the intentions of killing something. So naturally, we chose Hodgy. Again, this is a work in progress, I plan to totally change it later down the road. But it's fun to watch in the meantime.
