I think this will always be my favourite song and video from Hey Ocean!. I love how they are just around the kitchen jamming while preparing food. I still haven't seen them live even though we live in the same city. They are shooting a video next week and they need extras. I hope that they choose me and it won't conflict with my schedule.

The Fray: Heartless (Official Music Video)

2009-08-13T18:46:00.000-07:00

Earlier this year, The Fray made their own rendition of Kanye West's Heartless. One of the most popular covers of year has now been matched a video of its own.

[Chorus]
In the night, I hear em talk,
the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul to a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
Oh How could you be so heartless?

[Verse 1]
How could you be so, cold as the winter wind when it breeze, yo
Just remember that you talkin to me though
You need to watch the way you talkin to me, yo
I mean after all the things that weve been through
I mean after all the things we got into
Hey yo, I know of some things that you aint told me
Hey yo, I did some things but thats the old me
And now you wanna get me back and you gon show me
So you walk around like you dont know me
You got a new friend, well I got homies
But in the end its still so lonely

[Chorus]
In the night, I hear em talk,
the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul to a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
Oh How could you be so heartless?

[Verse 2]
How could you be so Dr. Evil, you bringin out a side of me that I dont know
I decided we werent gon speak so
Why we up 3 A.M. on the phone
Why does she be so mad at me fo
Homie I dont know, shes hot and cold
I wont stop, wont mess my groove up
Cause I already know how this thing go
You run and tell your friends that youre leaving me
They say that they dont see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon see
Youll never find nobody better than me

[Chorus]
In the night, I hear em talk,
the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul to a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
Oh How could you be so heartless?

[Verse 3]
Talkin, talkin, talkin, talk
Baby lets just knock it off
They dont know what we been through
They dont know bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just gon keep hatin me
And we just gon be enemies
I know you cant believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you cant make it right
Im gon take off tonight
Into the night.

[Chorus]
In the night, I hear em talk,
the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul to a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
Oh How could you be so heartless?

LIGHTS: Saviour (Official Music Video)

2009-08-10T17:18:00.000-07:00

This is the newest music video that I animated for a talented Canadian artist named 'LIGHTS'.
I was graciously asked again to work with the same director that I worked with on the Meaghan Smith music videos; Roberto Schoberto. With his great eye for direction and colour we were able to pull this video together in an EXTREMELY short amount of time. I was also assisted by my good friend Dharmali Patel in finishing off some of the animation.

After we finally got the concept designs approved by Lights' management and Warner music, we banged out the animation as quick as possible.

All the animation was done in Flash, and some still images done in Photoshop with animated elements over top (eg - still image of her face with animated hair)

Roberto did all of the AMAZING backgrounds and all of the final compositing in After Effects.

All in all, it turned out great... but with just a couple more days for production, we could have made it amazing. All things considering, we were pretty pleased with how it turned out.

This is a great rendition of the song. It kind of sounds like how John Legend would take this song and make it his own with a little more falsetto. This video was featured on Mr Hudson's site as the number one fan made video.

I will be heading down to Seattle to catch Raphael Saadiq when he performs during the Bumbershoot Festival. He has a very unique sound, in today's standards, because his voice is very old fashioned. Keeping with the style of his voice, his attire and music videos reflect the olden days. This music video was directed by Edouard Salier.

Drake: Best I Ever Had (Spoof)

2009-08-02T15:46:00.000-07:00

via illRoots

This spoof was based on all the controversy and speculations about the Best I Ever Had music video. The original video of the now immensely popular song, "Best I Ever Had", was directed by Kanye West and the reception was not expected from Drake. The original was said to depict that Drake was a sexist. He first responded by saying that he wished others would see the the deeper meaning of the video, but later apologized for offending much of the viewers. Kanye West also offered to remake the video, but it was refused by Drake.

Serfs On the Manor: Shiloh Hill (Review)

2009-08-01T22:09:00.000-07:00

Serfs on the what?

If you don’t know who these guys are, that’s what you’re probably thinking. As a guest attending their first live show, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. That was probably the case for everyone, unless you were there during their practices, since these boys have only gone public for a couple months and are still without any videos or recordings.

That doesn’t mean they weren’t there to impress. As their first venue, they chose to play at Shiloh Hill, which was located all the way out in Mission, BC. I wasn’t looking forward to the one-hour drive from Burnaby–especially since the thunderstorms decided to come out and play that night. But despite that, I was surprised to have been welcomed to the estate; which was a 100 acre land (owned by good friend of the band, John McCarthy), containing a golf course, a large three story mansion with a pool, a barn, and their own recreation field which was all accented by the wonderful scenery. The only downside was learning that the boys’ hard work on building a stage, set next to the pool, had been compromised due to the gloomy weather. Instead, they had moved the equipment to their barn, which ended up being a suitable location.

Serfs on the Manor consists of four guys: Jordan Wong on the lead guitar, Shayne “Shed” Edwards on the lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Jordan Michael Edwards on the bass and Lucas Benjamin Gedak on the drums. They began to play late into the evening with a minimal, but eager, crowd of friends. True to any concert, they played loud and with a purpose. They opened their act with a couple of covers, starting with “Gone Away” by the Offspring, and “Hand that Feeds” by Nine Inch Nails to name a few. Soon after, they finally introduced one of their first originals, “Bison on the Tundra”, which was inspired by their long-time friend Andrew Bround–who was their one-man mosh-pit for the night. A second original entitled “Fallow Times” followed after. They continued with covers by Iron Maiden, Marilyn Manson and Gerry Rafferty.

In the middle of the set, they introduced two more of their own originals, entitled “The Veteran” and “Mass Grave. They ended the night with “Rise and Stand", another one of their originals.

I’ll be honest; it was hard to judge these guys due to their lack of efficient equipment. These boys meant to play loud, but it proved difficult since their sound system couldn't handle the heat. Still, they brought their own kind of energy to the stage with Jordan Wong ripping up the solos–especially when he gave Andrew Bround a face melt (see photo)–while Shayne “Shed” Edwards showed great potential as a lead singer, displaying his ability to hit all the right notes. Meanwhile, Jordan Edwards and Lucas Gedak held the beat down on the bass and drums respectively, keeping the energy high and mighty.

I would like to highlight my favorite part of the night: Their cover of “Toxicity” by System of a Down. Their performance of this song gave me chills as they played with great intensity–something that made the night awesome. This song featured Jordan Wong on the drums.

When these boys could be heard, it sounded really, really good. It’s just too bad that their performance was obstructed by unforeseen factors, but anyone could tell that the crowd had a goodtime. These boys have the potential to start walking the line, as long as they keep doing what they’re doing.

So, I’ll end with this review with a definition of Serfs on the Manor:

n. “Four guys that out-performed the thunderstorms on Shiloh Hill”

So, definitely look out for these boys at local bars! You won’t regret it.

Michelle Devera.
