Grits The Band with OFCLOUDS

You Got To Move Music Video

Crossing paths for over a decade, we finally made a music video with our friends Grits The Band. We had one goal: make it feel like some bros with a bad idea shot a breakup music video in 2006. Were we successful? The play count proves our theory!

It was hard to find a decent HDV camera, but the 2006 state of the art Canon XH A1/XH-G1(s)) with plenty of flight hours did the trick. Forgot to blank the tapes before we shot. Whoops.

The video wasn't distributed very much because we did such a good job. Maybe some day cataonicyouths will pick it up and we'll be cringe famous.

Our cast was fantastic and we loved working with the band too.

Shot in Brooklyn at Marine Park, Prospect Park, Floyd Bennett Field, and Fort Tilden (which is technically Queens, but just barely).

The final single off GRITS.' full-length album "Love Gone Wrong"

If you got this far you'd find this easter egg: James + Dave were in a Vacationland video in 2013. Take a look at the gallery below and watch the video we made when we were some bros with a bad idea.
