Faux Press Vlog :: Music Video :: Four-Minute Ballet



"Four-Minute Ballet for Faux Press, Celebrities and Disposable Cameras" is the official title of this 2000 piece that features the music of Ahmed El-Motassem's Legal Fiction. The tune's called "I Want to Be You".

Found the song after we did the film but it fit so perfectly that I couldn't not make a music video of the work. We played with the ideas of celebrity and media.

The only scripted dialog is Lauren's: "No photos! No photos please!"

Thanks to Eric Rice for the urge to repost. Wishing him the best of luck with his own version of MTV. Had I more time, I should certainly make a new one. On the other hand, all those videos I make with music are considered around here to be music videos.
