The Smoker.

After finally being able to look up this certain cinematographer, I figured I'd share with fans of the Matches. I don't know about you, but I would find it interesting to know who was involved in the making of the video. But maybe that's the filmmaker talking, anyways, here we go.

The Director of Photography for the upcoming musicvideo "Yankee in a Chip Shop" is named Sam Mitchell, a London-based award winning professional. Visit his website: http://www.twentyfiveframes.com/

Sam (yeah, the guy in the video in the post below) is really good at what he does, and he's also really nice. Smokes like there's no tomorrow, and the bastard borrowed my lighter and never gave it back, but "lucky" me got a sticky dirty lighter tossed to me by Shawn, a lighter he probably found on the floor... hence the stickyness. But I don't hold grudges. I'm completely over the kidnapping of my precious lighter.

Jokes aside, Sam is awesome and talented. The camera used during the shoot was a regular mini-DV camcorder, you gotta love the man.

Of course, the on site directors for the video are Emilee Seymour and Shawn Harris.

More unrevealing material from the shoot

This has absolutely nothing to do with the shoot, except for the fact that it was filmed during those days in London. Shawn, Emilee, Sam (DoP for the music video), my sis and I are on our way to Banquet Records for the in-store performance.
I had forgotten that I had this, as well as some other filmed clips from the shoot - some actual scenes, which I can't post yet obviously. I'm a terrible tease, everyone tells me so.
