Rafter Music Video Contest (Round 2)

William — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 04:47:09 +0000

In 2007, I created a music video for the Asthmatic Kitty Records artist Rafter for a YouTube contest he was having. I ended up winning the contest and even got some prize money.

This year, Rafter has a new album and a new video contest. I submitted again with a video I edited from found footage in West Africa. Here is the video and link to it on YouTube. I’d love get get feedback in the form of comments and ratings on YouTube.

Rafter Music Video on AK DVD

William — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 05:45:03 +0000

One of the perks of winning Rafter‘s music video contest last year was that his record label Asthmatic Kitty asked me if they could include it on their upcoming DVD collection.

Another plus is that my good friend and collaborator Jym Davis got not one but TWO videos on the disc as well. Included are his great animated Half-Handed Cloud music video and a whacky one he did for The Curtains. The latter, I helped him film some of the colored water footage used in that video last April when we visited the Davises.

Go ahead! Pre-order your copy today!

Gentle Men Win!

Back in November I filmed a video with my brother David for Asthmatic Kitty’s YouTube contest for Rafter’s new album. I was one of the first to finish my video and post it and was quite confident I would win. However, as the deadline approached more and more great videos were submitted until there were 43 when the contest closed. I had pretty much given up on winning since my competitors were of such high-caliber.

But in the end, my video was picked for the Quality Award (despite YouTube’s terrible encoding job). So thanks to everyone who encouraged me while I was filming & editing. Thanks to Rafter for the great music. Thanks to Asthmatic Kitty for the chance to compete. And thanks to the 42 other video makers for setting the bar so high.

If you want to see the video it is still available at http://rafter.williamhaun.com

A Video for Total Chickens

I’m working on video for an online competition for a band called Rafter on the Asthmatic Kitty label (Sufjan Stevens’). The contest involves making a video set to one of the 4 songs Rafter has released online (more details).

My brother David helped me film while up in Tennessee and here are some still frames from the project.
