The big video story of the week is the trailer for Lynn Shelton’s MTV web series $5 Cover: Seattle. It’s a “The Hills” esque, half reality, half scripted show focusing on Seattle Bands. It was entirely shot in Seattle including at least a couple of Cap Hill locations like Chop Suey and the Wildrose. (any others?) MTV isn’t allowing embedding, so click here to watch the trailer.
And here’s some video by Corey Gouker who “just headed down to around Neumos to do some other filming, but drunks like being on camera.”
The much anticipated new video by Zia Mohajerjasbi, for Macklemore’s The Town was released a couple weeks back. But since I forgot to include it in my Top 9 Videos Cap Hill videos of 2009 post, I want to highlight Mohajerjasbi’s The Hug Song video, shot largely in Cal Anderson park.
And here’s a video profile of 35th North, the skate shop at 11th & Pike, produced by New Mode Productions.
Produced & edited by Ben Kaplan. Video, audio and lighting by Jordan Woodworth.
Oh please. MTV is still trying to cash in on seattle? Sorry, I’m still not interested in have my culture commodified and sold back to me. Again. For the umpteenth year straight.
I believe they filmed some of it at Cairo as well…
