New Death Cab For Cutie Video – “Little Bribes” (Fan Video)

On the page housing his fan video for “Little Bribes,” Ross Ching mentions he’s unemployed. After you watch his ambitious visual treatment for the Death Cab For Cutie track you’ll realize how important unemployment likely was to this meticulously produced project. But at least it was inexpensive. He says “if you don’t count the camera equipment that I already had” it cost about $75, most of it spent on gas. Ching shot it in the L.A. area (and at his parents’ place in San Jose) with the idea to visually represent each of the 211 different words in the The Open Door EP opener. See, for instance, your brain on “time” in the accompanying screengrab. We rarely post fan-made videos, but this is too good.

You’ll find more details about the making of the clip and the maker himself at rossching.com. Hire him!

The Open Door EP is out via Atlantic.

This video was beautiful, especially for a low-budget, fan made video. I have to say, though, I thought the lyric was “tall in stature and exceptionally READ,” not “exceptionally RED.” I am nitpicking, but I am sure he could easily edit that one bit and he probably should if he wants them to make it the official video.

I thought the same thing. Having said that, the idea of Ben writing in a character “tall in stature and exceptionally red” amuses me greatly so more inadvertent plus points for Ross Ching.
