You may or may not know, depending on who you are, that Nakedfella Productions (aka — David) has been working on a rather nice new MUSIC VIDEO for comedy star/musical act/Tripod support THE BEDROOM PHILOSOPHER.
His upcoming album, BROWN & ORANGE, should be something of a musical triumph given the amount of synthesizer action to be found upon it.
A particular highlight will be the first single from the album, released today on iTunes: THE HAPPIEST BOY. A genteel song involving alien kidnapping, a flying Valiant and Ailsa from Home & Away, I’m suggesting it’s going to be pretty successful given Bedroom’s (I call him by his first name) adorably rabid fanbase, and the fact that his 2005 single I’M SO POSTMODERN made the Triple J Hottest 100.
The music video for THE HAPPIEST BOY was directed by myself, and animated in Flash by myself, Kelly Lynagh and Michael Vandenhoven, who will be receiving pizza for their efforts.
The video was also released today, which means I’m hanging out to see it on RAGE pretty soon. Maybe elsewhere, too, depending on how broad the Philosopher’s appeal is among the target demo (MARKETING TALK, APPARENTLY). If he makes a Missy Higgins-style explosion into the mainstream we’re all set.
What I’m suggesting is that you watch the video on YouTube as soon as possible:
Comments are appreciated too, but it’s mostly just important you watch: if we get 1000 YouTube views by next Monday, Justin’s manager has promised to buy me a lot of Phoenix cola.
Also, you’ll be pleased (scared? revolted?) to know that the brand new issue of NAKEDFELLA COMICS was launched in Newcastle over the weekend to a few hundred whooping festivalgoers, some of whom reacted negatively to my assertion that POLICE ACADEMY 4 is superior to the original POLICE ACADEMY.
NAKEDFELLA COMICS #9 will be available shortly at shops which stock good independent comix. In the meantime, the FIRST THREE PEOPLE who send me a reply e-mail correctly identifying a ROOKIE FLASH ANIMATION MISTAKE I made in the HAPPIEST BOY video clip (we’re not counting my cheaty animation itself) will receive a copy free!
Regards,
David
