Outside of Reno
music video collab
Sometimes we try to visit people from the past, but the first time was also just a visit.
One time I met a ghost in a bathroom on the Donner Pass, so I wrote a song called “Outside of Reno.”
Now we’d like to make a music video—maybe you’d like to help? Because all of my friends have crashed their old Volvos, I thought it might be a fun experiment to invite you to help us fill out the video. Here are the things we need videos of:
Someone eating a doughnut on an old Volvo
Someone holding a disco ball
Someone explaining ACAB on a chalkboard
Someone showing off a Batman action figure
Someone dancing underneath the (or a) Reno sign
Or anything else you think is weird and cool and might fit!
If we use your videos, we’ll send you all our shirts and records for the rest of your life.
Even if for whatever reason we can’t use your videos, if you make something just for us, we’ll send you a cute thank you card with a download code and a button. Thank you already for reading this far!
maybe you’ve got questions
what size/quality/resolution should the videos be?
standard 720p or 1080p phone quality videos are great! but don’t sweat it—whatever you can do easily with your phone is awesome! landscape/horizontal please!should the videos include audio?
if you want! we probably won’t be using any audio besides the song, but if you think it’s interesting, go for it!how much time do i have to send a video?
until june 30th, 2021!how long should the videos be?
somewhere around 10 to 15 seconds is all!is it ok if i send you an old video that i think is a cool fit, or do i have to make something new?
you don’t have to make anything new! send us whatever you think is cool!hey did you ever finish that regret puzzle?
yeah we did! i’m trying to figure out how to display both sides at once (maybe some kind of… easel?), but it looks very cool. i will post some pictures or make another video with it soon!
