Drift Speaking (Jet Echo Video)
Video for Jet Echo’s “Drift Speaking.” I’d had footage of them playing different venues in Seoul, and they went on a tour of Japan, China, and Korea. That inspired me to dig up some of my Japan footage, and imagine Northeast Asia at night, while Jet Echo played live somewhere.

Edison’s Lament
“Edison’s Lament” – MakBak on Vimeo
Video for the intro to MakBak’s album “33 on the 45.” Various archival footage is pasted together to flow along to MakBak’s lamentation on vinyl LP records.
Hurling
A video for Jet Echo’s song “Auralgraphx: Hurling”
The song fits itself to sports so well.

“Run/Stop/Restore” (a MakBak video)
I’m working on a collection of videos for MakBak, a Seoul band of 2 ex-pats (sometimes 3). I hung out with them in the studio and recorded different vignettes. This video is for the first 45 seconds of MaK Bak’s “Run/Stop/Restore.” An experiment with blue screens – or rather, blue yoga mats! Check their site at myspace.com/makbak/
MakBak – 33 on the 45
Featured
This is a 10 minute documentary made on the occasion of MaK BaK’s debut CD launch party, which was also their last show. MaK BaK was a band of two Canadian ex-pats living in Seoul, Korea. The film shows footage from their various live shows in Seoul, before going into the studio with them as they record the CD. And finally the final live show.

Bong Fire Mountain
Made in Seoul in 2006. Music by Jet Echo (myspace.com/jetecho). Words by Jack Quin. Video by DoAn Forest.
The audio has the sample, “The train for Bong-hwa-san is now arriving.” The word “bong” can’t really be translated into English (but of course, think BONG), and “hwa” means fire, and “san” means mountain. This video is kind of a short story, but not too easy to follow.
