Cobrastyle

By jacobw

This is an unofficial video I made for "Cobrastyle," by Teddy Bears featuring Mad Cobra. Shot in the course of one day in Cambridge, Mass.

It's also available in high quality if you click through to YouTube, which I'd recommend. It looks much better.

Feedback is most welcome.

It was a pretty cute idea, but it didn't ever really jump off the screen. I feel like the punchline was too little too late... Something a little more absurdist would have been sweet. Yachts falling on people is pretty funny to me.

Also, why not find some friend with a band and use the footage for their official video instead of having an unofficial video? I'm not ripping the choice, it's just not the same one I would make and I wonder why you went that route.

Thanks for posting, though. I'm looking forward to whatever else you post.

Thanks for the feedback-- all fair points.

To answer your question, the reason I went with this song is just that I loved the way it worked with the images.But you are absolutely right that making this an official video for another song would make more sense. Honestly, I just got kind of obsessessed with this song (and with one other--I actually cut another version of this video with a Project Jenny Project Jan track, and went back and forth as to which I liked better.)

I really can't defend that choice rationally.
