This is always my favorite video of the month– where OurStage artists get out their web-cams and thank the fans who voted them to the top. Some of them get creative (see: Jason Lee Thomason’s you flip-book), some are a little weird (see: CoelacanthDance’s homage to primeval fish), and some are just heartfelt (wait for Grand Prize winner Mike Moran at the end).
In the comment section below, tell us which artist you loved most from September!
Congratulations to Mike Moran and Lazertag for taking home the OurStage grand prize awards for September.
I enjoyed talking to Brad Ungar who directed the winning video for Lazertag’s “Silver State.” He told me the video was shot on the road from California to Austin, Texas for the South By Southwest music festival. Technically, Lazertag hadn’t booked a show there, but they rigged their car so they could play shows in parking lots around Austin. Turns out, it’s not that simple. Even bands playing parking lots need permits in Austin during SXSW. He says most shows were shut down after the first or second song.
Still, he got lots of great footage of the band on the road, including footage from some of those brief outdoor performances. The product? An award winning video as voted by the fans on OurStage. Congrats Brad.
If you dig the winning work of Mike Moran, Lazertag, or Brad Ungar, give ‘em a shout in the comment section. Tell them what you love about their work!
