They may not be the best in the world - but we've had an brilliant time putting them together. I've just got back to Huntington 6th Form, which is great fun with some of the most amazing people you could ever meet - unfortunatly means I don't have a lot of time for much else at the moment. Driver is finished. Kinda. Watch the video below....
Be sure to check out Lounge a Modest Mouse music video to the intoxicating lo-fi tune from This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About, in addition to a few old school films and Driver: The Movie based on the original 90's retro game following the story of maverick cop - Tanner, trying to infiltrate the ring of big time crook Bagman.

Huntington School, The End?

An emotional video of our last day at school in Year 11. I don't expect you to understand it if you wern't part of it all, but you can see some of the great friends I made along the way.

Music "Wonderboy" by Tenacious-D. This video has gone down well with the people of youtube...



Things I Don't Remember

An interesting video of the good old days in Year 11, when we were young(er) and innocent(ish). Set to "Things i Don't Remember" by Ugly Casanova. Another very early video of my friends acting "normal".



Tiny Cities (Coca Coca Cola)

An early video of my friends (drinking coke) set to "Tiny Cities Made Of Ashes" another amazing Modest Mouse song. One of the first (and few) videos with some kind of structure.



Medication

An early arty video of random things I saw on the way home from school one day - set to Modest Mouses "Medication" which sums the mood of the film perfectly.
