Thanks to all!

We shot this in two days around Portland landmarks. We were trying to portray the 'rat pack' of McLoughlin, a mixture of classic cool, and hipster chic. After extensive scouting, we pitched a bunch of different places we thought looked interesting around town. We liked the washed up look of the McLoughlin area. This is an area that was once filled with commerce, but has felt the hit by the economy, evidenced by the multiple big box stores closed for business.

Throughout the process we liked to compare the guys to Goodfellas, and Resevoir Dogs, cool and classic, with a broken down strip mall feel. This is what they do when they're waiting for a job, this is them existing, waiting. This is them driving, doing laundry, in a worn down laundromat.

We shot the performance stuff in Eli's basement, a community storage place. We wanted to create the feeling of a studio, but also have an interesting space that it was occurring in. We liked the wood slat texture in the background, and wanted the star quality that the silhouette brought, as the guys rapped, and drank, and smoked.

Overall, we feel the music video was a success, we were able to get through production on a extremely tight budget (like non existent) with high production value. Steve Crocker did an amazing job on the edit and it came out nearly exactly like our vision. Everyone at Quarter Orange hopes that you like this as much as we liked making it.

Enjoy!
