“HEAVEN AT NITE” video was never finished or approved…

(should i write this in caps, like our other favorite bloggers….hmmm, maybe not)

first off, thanks for all of the comments about the video i directed for KID CUDI’s song off the mixtape “HEAVEN AT NITE”. it was a song that i loved and CUDI and i thought it might be fun to do a quick little video for it. we shot it in the SUMMER of 2008, it was super no budget with a small crew who came in for a few hours to make it happen. needless to say, i’m a perfectionist and wasn’t fully happy with the rough edit or graphics and the video was put on hold.

for those of you who may not know, when a music video is shot (with a budget or no budget), the major players (ie: the director, artists, label, etc) have to approve the edit before anything happens with it.

unfortunately, someone who knew this very well – leaked it regardless. had it not been leaked, you all would have been able to view a more polished final product that everyone involved with would have approved…and, you guys would have been the first to see it here.

oh well, “life goes on”.

hey wait, i remember that show…do you guys?
