A Special Surprise!

We have a special surprise for you at Hello! Video tonight: two amazing videos by Whitey McConnaughy have been added to the lineup. If you don’t know who Whitey is, he’s one amazing Portland director and cinematographer. He makes great music videos.

Tonight we’ll be showing his video for Panther, and also his brand new video for The Thermals. Not sure, but I think this might just be the Portland premiere! Be sure to swing by and catch it!

Willamette Week Just Made The List

Shame on you, Willamette Week! I mean, we appreciate the mention of The Kelley and Jason Show, Hello Damascus, and Yes Father… but where’s the Hello! Video? You got somethin’ against Hello! Video?

I swear. And barely a mention, at that. If there was some way I could “retract” a hand job, I would. But there’s not, so life just goes on. But I’ll be damned if you get any “special favors” for listing the next show.

Hello! Video - The Final Stretch

There’s a couple more exciting things coming your way in Hello! Video 13 that I really think you should know about.

• Gretchen Hogue, of the PDX Fest fame, has sent in two genius videos for us to share and enjoy: “3 Cheers 4 Paris” and “Where’s My Boyfriend?”
• Karl Lind is sharing a piece called “Disconnected.” Very surreal… but I’m not going to spoil it for you.
• Michael Paulus has a new piece to show that might be the most surreal work of his yet. At least, until the next one comes along.
• A couple of classic animations from Hello! Video’s past will be shown. You won’t know which ones.
• The hip-hop-tacular Diabolickal will be showing a video of the same name, starring Lee Armstrong.

And finally, one filmmaker still hasn’t got his two submissions in yet and it’s killing me! I’m not naming any names, but if you’re reading this, get me those videos!!! I know how awesome they are, you’re not fooling anyone. Get me those damn videos!
