“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.
Macrogroove (a MakBak video)
This is MakBak in the studio in Seoul, recording the first 45 seconds of their song “Macrogroove.” The cool thing about this video is that I had only one camera, so how did I get the two shots to line up so well? That’s the magic of MakBak. Check them at myspace.com/makbak
Emotional Content (Han of K-Pop Remix)
Featured
This video concept was born when I bought a 6-DVD of Korean pop music videos around 2001. In almost these videos, it seems that someone meets a tragic end — it could be a disease, a crash, a suicide, a gunshot wound, or just of heartbreak. Living in Korea for a long time, I find this tragic appetite of their pop culture to be almost tragicomic.
The video was cut to a song which was a collaborate between Jet Echo (myspace.com/jetecho) and MakBak (myspace.com/makbak) … two bands who lived in Seoul in the mid 2000s.
