I can't take credit for the Max Headroom reference, but I wish I could.

No, it was literally that I had been working on this for months, and was holding off on putting up the poster until I had a title. When I was in production, and had shot the teasers, and was ready to post them... I needed a name, and Sad Max was the one I liked best in the ten minutes I spent making a decision.

It had a bunch of temp names along the way, but none were good. (The Musical at the End of the Internet.) End of the day, "Sad Max" is an easy abstraction to remember, so fuck it. That was also when his name became "Max." True story.

Glad you liked it. Thanks for the kind words.

Teague- I already commented on the Youtube page, but I'll add that I hope you do another such project that's even more ambitious, with an unreliable narrator full of self-deception and cognitive dissonance until he finally realizes/admits who he is (or does he...?).

Also, is the name Sad Max just a reference to the post-apocalyptic Mad Max, or were you also thinking of the disembodied head of Max Headroom?

Listening to Running Up That Hill again reminds me of this drum break from this Haim show last month. Since when they're singing they do lots of great Bush-y vocal harmonies.

Coincidentally, I remember the person shooting this video standing in front of me and being annoyed with them.

We should find some floor toms.

Running Up That Hill?

Can I sing like the guy from Placebo? Oh can I?!

Whee. Thanks guys. Teague next time I'm over let's do some Kate Bush covers. And I hereby retire that stare-into-the-camera-for-no-reason thing I've been doing.

Beautiful. And it's a weird coincidence, considering I watched Sad Max again last night on my new Apple TV

The song is nice but the piano needs tuning.

He's got an amazing voice. That's one hell of a voice range.

Loved it guys! You could do more of these for Sad Max, with cool harmonics stuff!

Daaaayum guys. Nicely done. Holy shit! 1:39 is when I lost it entirely, Paul, I would love to hear you do some more stuff in that range. The octave above thing just throws me off every time. *shrug* Just does.

I really enjoy this short film as I have said on twitter many times. For a fun note to anyone with a gaming console if you have the YouTube app and a nice NIG screen TV the short sounds amazing and really looks great. Plus it's nice to sit on the couch and watch people work. Great job.
