Classified – Anybody Listening

Posted in Our crazy World, Toronto Life, obama on June 21, 2009 by Clay Rochemont

A Canadian Artist (Halifax) put out a video for his new single “Anybody Listening” recently. Take a look.

A few things really get to me about this video. For one, copyright infringement. He uses the extensive hard work of artists Shepard Fairey and Banksy and turns their strong political ideas and modern legendary works of art into garbage by adding a useless, pointless twist into it, which happens to be the rapper himself. I hope you get sued.

Also, Obama’s “HOPE” piece (By Fairey) with a picture of a white mediocre rapper from Halifax??? Really? I mean, yes everyone used that application where you can throw your pic into it and create meaningless facebook pictures, but adding it as a signifigant part of your music video? Please spare the public of your idiocy, and immediatley stop putting yourself beside one of history’s greatest moments.

I would strongly advise you pull that video, as this will get to Shep and Banksy.

Matt Barnes Promo

Posted in Artwork, HXFOUR on May 28, 2009 by Clay Rochemont

For the past few months, I’ve been shooting ideas around with Photographer Matt Barnes on a promotional product for him. Something next level to send out in order to wow some key people. Matt is one of the best Music photographers in the business, but also he is simply an amazing Commercial Photographer. What we’ve done is designed a package which includes 7″ picture disc vinyl records, fully pressed with remixes by my good friend DJ Platurn, and even features an intro by Snoop Dogg. ( Recorded when they worked together in Montreal a couple years back). It has a 2 sided bonus poster, and a total of 6 large promotional images, with 30 additional thumbs. The final product is looking amazing, and I’ll give you a snippet of the final cover artwork, and inside panel. When its complete, we’ll be doing an official shoot of it all, and i’ll post then…
