JDSY – Smoke n Mirrors

Music video for the song Smoke n Mirrors by JDSY featured on the Moodgadget complilation The Rorschach Suite.

When I approached Joey (aka JDSY) about creating a video for this song it was recieved with great enthusasm.  We chated via instant messager about the idea of dumping lots of milk all over his old ford.  Later ideas  inclduing cuting a gallon of milk in mid air with a samurai sword.  Deck Master D. assured me he could perform the manuver.

Needless to say non of these idea were acutalized.  Instead Dawn Stronski and I decided to play with some old childhood puppets of mine.  This video is the result.
