Filmaker, Dalton Rooney, shot and directed this video on 8mm film entitled “Spare a Quarter” back in 2007. For the music here, we gave him a beat we had lying around in infancy at the time. I don’t remember ever seeing the finished film until now. I totally forgot about this project, and here two years later, it was found and brought to my attention. Now, the beat is actually a song with lyrics and more shit called, “Ecliptic” and should probably be on our next Dem Suite record. I love the grittiness of the 8mm film, reminds me a little bit of the Arnofosky movie π, one my college favorites. This whole project is somewhat inspiring to me to try and reach out to more filmmakers and offer to do music. Although this was just a beat thrown over the top of a nice little film, its still cool and I’d definitely like to attempt to compose a piece or several pieces of music specifically for a film in the future.
