Silver Pines – Invitation to Surf (Amasa Gana Remix)

I’m very happy to say that I’ve finished the video I have been working on for my friends, Silver Pines. The project started quite some time ago, but it didn’t get started in earnest until recently when I wiped the slate clean, abandoned the song that had been chosen for the video, and started from scratch with a new concept. The song that the band picked to go with this new approach ended up being a remix from one of their friends- the song has a different tone than most of their pieces that include vocals, and I think their choice works really well with the visuals to create a feeling of strange dread, that is still somehow funny.

In the video we meet a q-bert faced worlock who performs a psychic surgery on a chain smoker, in the process removing the library card that had been causing his addiction. Also, since the song is as much about surfing as Brian Wilson was about surfing (not at all. except for all the sand.) I had Brian Wilson wander in to approve the psychic surgery process.
