modest Okay, so heres my story of how I got to be in a music video.After a long sleepy winter I received a phone call from my best friend. His best friend from high school had asked him if I would be interested in being in a video he was directing.

 

The next day I hada message on my phone saying "Hi, this is Corey Creasy and I'm directing a music video for the band Modest Mouse and I was wondering if you would be interested in hakcysacking in it."I knew Corey through my best friend and we went to the same high school. I called him back and made plans to drive 3 hours to Berkely (San Fransisco) to film. I practiced several times a week to the song "Invisible" on the album "We Missed the Boat Before the Ship Even Sank" by the band "Modest Mouse". When I met up with the directors, Corey and Ian, they showed me their internet site, "TerriTimely.com", and some other video's they had made together. We filmed about 7 different scens on Monday from 9am-12midnight. and a few more on Tuesday all day. I got paid well for the 2 days of work. It was very interesting to see how different scene changes happen. The camera and lighting crew was very skilled. Everyone was very patient and easy to work with. The video was finished by summer. Modest Mouse finally released the video on YouTube early October. Modest Mouse is doing a music video for all 14 tracks on their new album. Track 14 Invisible is the one where I play a business man who plays footbag unnoticed because I seem invisible to everyone around. I loved the experience. The pay was good. There are a lot of funny comments to be read on the video comments on MySpace.com.
