Spike's debut

evansorchid	Date: January 16, 2010 @ 6:34 PM Hello there fellow DM\'ers. As some of you are aware, I\'ve been producing some videos for some of the Rustling Silk tracks recently. To make a LONG story short, the video that I produced for our track Alvarado was seen by a friend of mine from high school, who happens to be involved with a video production company here in the Dallas area. He and I really hadn\'t seen each other since high school, and we got together and had lunch a few months ago and talked about putting together a video for Rustling Silk. He really liked the WWII footage that I\'d used in the original video and he incorporated it into a new video for the song. I visited the production studio where he works and I spent a few hours in front of the \'green screen\' lip-syncing the words to Alvarado. The link on this post is to the video. http://www.lightningbear.tv/Player.aspx?ID=112 I\'m still trying to get used to seeing myself in a music video. My friend provided the wardrobe and slicked my hair back and I just kind of stood there in front of the green screen and sang the song a number of times under his direction. I\'d sure appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks, Spike
BOWILLIE	Date: January 16, 2010 @ 7:20 PM i remember really enjoying the original video.. this new one with you in it makes it perfect man. the black/white vintage effects jells the whole overall image of this video. they did a proffesional job in my opinion. damn..if you had of been wearing a helmet it would seem you were in the real vintage clip. excellent. cool new image too

farfor44	Date: January 17, 2010 @ 10:03 AM Very cool! Your presence on this new video mixed with the WW11 footage works very well..Is that(Palm Aid) on the hair??pretty slick Excellent Video my friend!
moam	Date: January 17, 2010 @ 12:29 PM This is amazing dude...seriously. I'm very glad you decided to add footage of yourself to the video
Tattoomom	Date: January 17, 2010 @ 9:40 PM That's awesome! You so rock! Thanks for sharing that...
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: January 17, 2010 @ 9:52 PM There will now be a temporary shortage of Brylcreem in the world as Spike used gallons of it for that slick Hollywood beau circa 1940 look Very nice. As in my own video 'autoimmune', even though I don't share your handsome good looks, it's always nice to see a bit of the artist behind the music. This video showcases it well. I kept expecting Frank to jump out of a coffin clutching a Casio mini-keyboard ..

ShadowMom	Date: January 20, 2010 @ 4:54 PM These guys seem inordinately interested in your 'do, Spike. You AND your friend did a great job. We all know it takes more muscles to frown than to smile, I wonder how many muscles it takes to lip sync And really, tell us the truth... how long did it take you to get that stuff out of your hair?
evansorchid	Date: January 20, 2010 @ 5:31 PM Thanks for all the positive and supportive comments everyone. I really really appreciate it. Here is the story on the hair.....My friend supplied me with a container of hair gel and told me to do something with my hair. There was a mirror in the studio and I spent about 10 minutes spiking up my hair.....and I thought it looked pretty cool. When my friend saw what I had done with my hair, he stated....That just won't do.....and he reached into the container of hair gel and grabbed a handful and applied it to my head very liberally....then we started the shoot.....After the shoot I went into the bathroom and ran the hot water in the sink and spent 10 minutes in there trying to wash it out. I had originally envisioned my hair with a bit of a modest spike, but that didn't happen.
zedsalt	Date: January 21, 2010 @ 9:52 AM A friend/former bandmate of mine did his spikes with only-slightly-diluted cyanoacrylate. I made some offhand comment about how most folks just use sugarwater, and he replied that he wanted his to stand in wet weather, and besides, he no longer had to give much thought to his next 'do (shaved to the scalp). The one he grew after the spikes was sans-shaping, dyed black with tiger gold spots, big ol' furry sideburns and untrimmed fingernails- his werewolf phase.
