EXTRACURRICULAR: BUSY BUSY BUSY REDUX

A few years ago my friend and I put this video together for a project at school. It's low-budget stuff, but we had fun with it and it was quite well-received. The song is 'Busy Busy Busy' by the now-defunct Ghosthustler. If you like the tune, I recommend you check out Alan Palomo's recent work under the monikers VEGA and, currently, Neon Indian.

We were married last year in August, and in December we embarked on an extended honeymoon to Western Canada, Europe and North Africa. We incorporated our travels into Lake Jane, and I contributed as videographer & editor. Here are four of the more successful projects:

Documenting our jaunt through London's Borough Market


Attempting to capture the magnificent Morocco


Tapas crawling across Granada


A vanity piece inspired by a Washed Out mixtape


The videos were a huge success. They, along with daily Lake Jane entries, earned readership in the thousands.

We weren't restricted by licensing on the first assignment, so credit to Fujiya & Miyagi for their track 'Transparent Things':



We were then charged with the task of coming up with our own copyright-free sound. I came up with this John Carpenter-inspired score using Garage Band:
