The Microphones Music Video : Design Machina

A Temporary Space for Incoherence

This would be a portfolio for front-end developer and New Orleans resident Michael Milstead. However, you'll notice that it is not. Oh, yes. Life is not quite as magical as one would expect. Truth is, the site is undergoing one or three major changes and will return quite shortly. In the meantime, enjoy (or not) my incoherent ramblings about nothing in particular. I'm no poet, be warned.

“I Hope You Wish You’d Die” is an outtake from The Microphones’ bestselling album The Glow, Pt. 2 and one of my favorite songs from the group (really, Phil Elvrum, the brains of the whole project). For my second New Media class, we were to create music videos for a song of our choice with After Effects, and this is what I put together. It was made to capture the recurring themes in Elvrum’s lyrics about the awkwardness of life situations, feeling small in the world, and the use of everyday things we take for granted as deeper symbolism.
