Tens of Dollars
This is a music video I directed about a bank robber who falls in love with the beautiful teller he tries to rob. Would love to hear your brutal opinion. Thanks.

The artist is Pip Skid, an MC from Winnipeg, and we shot in the historic One King West building in downtown Toronto, a former 30s-era bank but now hotel/residence. Keep your eyes peeled for world-famous author and Mefite Fuzzy Monster, who appears in the video as a terrorized patron.

Ha! I quite liked that. I don't know that I've ever seen a picture of FM so I don't know which robbee it was.

Don't think I would have picked out the love angle, but I do really like the video and the song.

Let me guess, the video came in under budget.

This was great. I really liked it. I was genuinely surprised when the banker jumps on the counter. Great tune and great video.

I enjoyed that, and I think the editor did a good job getting the banker in sync with the lyrics. I know that that can be a tough one to do (I'm a sound editor (out of Toronto also)), but I thought it was done well.
