The only thing that took away from that song was when they opened their mouths to trash to video."Uhhh... Uhh.. uhhh uhhh...(laughs)" Yeah ok, nice one. I thought Clues had some innovation and creativity, but apparently they wouldn't know those things if it decked them in the face. So for the band, take a clue and don't quit your day job. To the director and Tim Heidecker, awesome job, keep up the good work. That video was amazing.

I love the music video. I think that if you break down the song, it's easy to separate from the video. It doesn't take away from the album at all IMO. Great interview.

However, I tried to include the band in the process as much as possible. I was given verbal consent for this idea as long as I included links to their music and did not call it the official video(it was never called the official video). I pitched the idea in person exactly as you see it, emailed the animatic of the storyboards, let them know we had cast Tim, and even emailed a rough cut the day after the shoot for approval. Bands are very busy, so I understand why it may have been hard to respond. After the label gave us their response, "unofficial" is and always has been the first thing in the info on any site it has ever been posted (i.e. vimeo, youtube, mannequinbangers.com, etc.). Never was there any intention to receive any kind of compensation from the band or label. So I'm sorry so many people saw it and thought it was the official video. In our defense, I've seen numerous comments from people saying they now want to buy the album after seeing this. That shouldn't come as a surprise, because it's still one of the best albums of the year. I'll be the first to admit it's far from perfect, but not bad for a first video funded by a minimum wage production assistant job. ---- I realize I've said a lot, but I hope I've cleared up any confusion, and look forward to hear what Clues does next.
