Staring Out The Window by Fulton Lights from 3 Songs (2010)

Staring out the window I'm thinking about my days Things I done right The wrong of my ways Gone down on my knees Genuflected and prayed That I might learn From mistakes that I've made

We take the bus We take the train We go by car We go by plane We're riding overnight Going god knows where God knows what we'll find God knows when we'll get there

Staring out the window And I'm thinking about my life Thinking about my future Like where I'll be when I meet my wife And when I die Will it be by old age or by knife Will it be peaceful Or will it be by hardship and strife

We take the bus We take the train We go by car We go by plane We're riding overnight Going god knows where God knows what we'll find God knows when we'll get there

But I'm bringing my camera And I will photograph Every building On every street Every meal At every rest stop Each and every single person we meet

This song is called Autumn Anthem. It is by a dude called Fulton Lights.

Ninian Doff is one of my favorite up-and-coming music video directors, creating an outstanding portfolio of work in just a couple short years. He was nice enough to answer a few questions for me about himself and some of his various projects. Click here to read the full interview. How did you become involved with the music video industry? Just started making music videos off my own back - self financed, was my own camera crew, did my own post production. “Staring Out The Window" and "Golden Tree" were made like that. Then they got people to be interested in me which led to becoming "professional" at it… What filmmakers are your biggest inspirations? For music videos the recent run of creative directors totally inspired me to fall in love with music videos again and want to make them. So by that I mean Daniels, Keith Schofield, MegaForce, Patrick Daughters… and probably a million other people I can’t think of right now. But these guys all started making music videos again which pushed visual ideas and techniques nearly always showing us an idea no one had thought of yet. When I first stared seeing their work it was electricity getting fired into my brain. One of my favourite reactions to a music video is “aaaah! Why has no one thought of doing that before!” Then like everyone on earth I was obsessed with the first Director Label DVDs when they first came out years ago (Gondry, Jonze, Cunningham).
