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.

wow, very impressive
I liked the video. It reminds me of a Softlightes video I’ve enjoyed for some time.

dude…don’t be such an elitist Prick…he probably doesn’t know who Kris Moyes even is….and WHO CARES. It’s a nice video…don’t shit on it because you think your smarter. Lame.
Uhhhh…. what?
I’d argue this guy copies a bit too much of Kris Moyes’ style from this video, but they both probably just got it from Sesame Street:

Hope he gets work!
He deserves it.
Damn, do this guy a favor and make it the official video
Wow this is actually brilliant. I am very impressed.
Yay unemployed people!
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.
Perhaps you’ll like this video I made–it’s kind of similar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llj3gfdOxRU
if ross ching’s video was nelson mandela, yours would be bono.
great video
Wow! Nice video! Really enjoyed it.
It dosen’t matter if people thing Ching ripped Moyes because Moyes ripped sagmeister and he knows it.
