Tony Bingham, a sincere friend, found our location for this video at the last minute - and we were of course elated. But on the shooting day in question, the skies produced rain clouds for miles.

I sat silently, thinking how I'd finally gotten to shoot a music video for this band (I had already directed their EPK and documentary), and now the heavens were not cooperating. Clearly a disaster was abound. I decided to shoot anyway. Maybe two takes in, I'd pretty much given up on the clip having any signature look...everything was drab, muddy and dark.

But within, it seemed, seconds, a wondrous thing happened. I received a call from my steadicam operator who said prior his schedule would not allow for him to be there - now he was asking for directions. My smile began. Once he arrived, the cloud cover peeled back. We had a stretch of about 3 hours of moist sunlight! Outstanding!

After a bit of fertile photography, we packed up and left the farm location, stumbling accidently on a small shack in the middle of nowhere. Funny, when I entered the rickety structure, a visible hole stood out in the middle of the place. I thought out loud, "Quick, let's place the camera down there, and spin it in a circle to catch each band member in a different part of this open house. Worked like a charm!

And when I suggested Speech sit in the window, the sun grew brighter for our two only takes. God...is all one can say.

We traveled back to downtown ATL, where I was favored with the distinct honor of working with famed artist, Radcliffe Bailey. A polished professional. He braved rush hour traffic, and seedy alleyways for us to capture what was pure about his work even then.

We ended our spirited day at the Scoville Hotel, where we finalized our efforts for the remainder of the concept.

The unique creativity and social interest of this group grabbed me from the moment I first heard them in the 90's. So glad to be able to enjoy them again!

I always thought that they should have had Redd Foxx do the part of Mr. Wendal. It would have been awesome....

I came here just for the scream and left with a message. Funny how that works.

I remember seeing this video on the old MTV, that's right, when they used to show music videos. The only reality show they had at the time was "The Real World" and later came "Road Rules."

I understand that many people feel that Arrested Development was very focused on afro centric ideals, but I must say that they have a lot of universal messages in their music. I for one can relate to a lot of the music and being born a white middle class male from the other side of the country, that is saying a lot. When you actually pull apart some of their lyrics I'm surprised at how timeless and insightful they truly are. Not to mention they hardly ever curse and although they recognize the african american struggle they do not advocate the gangster lifestyle you see in so many other groups from that time frame. I just wish there were more groups like them today.

I wish I didn't sleep on these guys when I was younger but I have atoned for that mistake and listen to them now.
