SEE THIS THEE OH SEES VIDEO

Danish filmmaker Ada Bligaard Søby has a great eye for personal stories relating to current predicaments, which she turns into dreamy, heartfelt, and captivating documentaries. The kind that make you feel all fuzzy and alive. We hope to show some of Ada's work on VBS in the near future, but until then, here's a brand new Thee Oh Sees video she just sent us that she made with director Brian Lee Hughes.

She got the idea while touring with the Thee Oh Sees from San Francisco to SXSW, because guitarist Petey Dammit is a main character in her upcoming film about the financial crisis, Petey & Ginger. Ada says the video consists of, "a ton of footage I shot at a ton of shows on an HDV camera with an LED flashlight taped onto it." And that, "co-director Brian's a geek who loves this three-frame editing technique, so I figured it might make for a good live footage/video twist. Boy genius Jacinto Astiazaran edited it and melted his eyeballs picking out his favorite three-frame clips."

The song isn't new or anything, "Meat Step Lively" is from Thee Oh Sees' 2009 album, Help. When we asked Ada about it, she simply answered, "I don't know why we decided to shoot the video for it now. It just felt right and it stomps and there's some flute in it." Well, there you go.
