Wentzel-Fisher directed Portland's Parenthetical Girls' new video, "Careful Who You Dance With," utilizing his "bokeh words" technique, chiaroscuro, and creative camerawork. It's gettin' a lot of buzz, y'all. According to Wentzel-Fisher, the video was shot in the basement of the Bank of America building, at Washington and Central. Fellow Parenthetical Girls fans, we now have a hyper-local tribute zone for our PG-love. Tag suggestion: (♀)

ABQ MTV: Local Music Videos That Rawk

I love music videos. And, this week, I stumbled across two new, local music videos that I absolutely lurve. Scroll on to get your ABQ A/V fix.

Local indie rawk duo Fart House seems to be following a witch house-esque search engine policy, because googling "Fart House" gets one exactly nowhere. Luckily, one-half of Fart House, uber-talented local artist Brapola! (Luke Hussack) shared this Supernormals-directed video for their song, "Song," on Facebook. Filmed at Small Engine Gallery, this video features so-bad-it's-good stand-up comedy, a couple of photogenic ducklings, face-in-hole paintings, and creative editing. And "Song" is a really good, er, song. Check it out!

Finally, check out the slightly older, but no less fantastic, interstellar road trip video for Monster Paws' "Ray of Light."

Blurred Vision: Supernormals' "Light Works"

Things in light. Hmm... Light as thing? Thing-in-itself? File under musings induced after viewing Supernormal Kaleb Wentzel-Fisher's "Light Works." According to the short film's description, Wentzel-Fisher used stencils and "a bokeh technique [he's] been working on for a long time." Lovely.
