This is a super song and a fantastic video.
This music video was filmed entirely with a Canon 7D using old Nikon Al prime lenses to give it a vintage feel. This music video pays homage to the Blues Brothers scene with Ray Charles, Shake Your Tail Feather.
“I recently got turned onto DSLR cameras (Canon 7D & 5D Mark II) after a long run with 35mm adaptors. I used these fantastic image making devices to DP my new music video for the band. The video concept was really a dream made reality, in which we recreated an Iconic scene from the classic 1980’s film “The Blues Brothers.” a scene in which Ray Charles performs the song “Shake Your Tail Feather” with Dan Akroid and John Belluci. It’s not really a parody of the iconic scene, but more of an homage and even has a guest performer- Weird Al Yankovic, the Godfather of parody. I chose the Canon 7D, primarily because this was before the 5D firmware finally came out and I got sick of hearing the rumors so I just went with the 7D to shoot the video. (a week later the firmware actually was released this time). I used an array of old 80’s Nikon AI Prime Lenses to shoot the entire video, to really try an emulate the look and feel of the vintage film.”
