When you are trying to express things with metaphors and much more subtlety, that's when you are doing yourself a disservice by making a video.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
With videos, I find I'm better off if I'm playing a role inside of it. The more you do it, the more you understand it.
When I do videos, it's just myself.
When you make a movie, you know you're making a long-form thing, so the visuals are different than for a video where it has to be more obvious or in your face, I think, a little bit.
I don't like seeing myself on television and I don't enjoy filming. What I actually enjoy is thinking about how I am going to express something or how we are going to make the visual metaphor.
Video is a funny thing. It's one thing to be an artist, singer-songwriter, and use words and create pictures in people's minds. And then be asked to do video for it, to actually give a certain visual for your song.
When you see yourself on video, you and your friends spending time on vacation, and they take a video, and then you see it, it's really disturbing.
My friends and I often film videos when we get together and hang out, and they're usually just silly situational videos just for our own amusement.
Videos have to go hand in hand with your music, so that's why, ultimately, they should be created by the artist. And if they're not, it doesn't really add up to me.
Video is so primal. When you can hear a person talking about the project, and can see his or her passion, it is unbelievably powerful. I don't want to make it seem like projects without a video fail.
Videos are more like photography. It's not as much about trying to tell a story as it is creating images.
