Day two of the #InstaWrimo Challenge - Shelfy. I have a ton of shelves in my house but this is our "library" and I love the way it look, so please admire it. Yes that is a LOT of Star Wars stuff.

Money is the first Bad Wave music video that we didn’t make ourselves. Cody reached out to us and offered to shoot a video, and of course we were skeptical, but he seemed like a driven and creative dude so we told him to go for it. We really didn’t know what he’d come up with or if it would be any good. We even showed up one night to the shoot in Chinatown and he had these cool colored lights and we just watched him run around with the camera and we really had no idea what the video was about. But when he showed us the finished product we were blown away. We thought it was going to be a quickly thrown together video, but it was super creative and worked great with the song.

Part of the reason we learned to do this stuff ourselves is because people aren’t dying to work for pretty much no money or recognition. So watching someone create something of such quality, and do it because they genuinely like the music and are excited to collaborate, is pretty damn flattering.

Note from Director Cody Dobie: Social influencers are so darkly fascinating to me—their followers demand constant bread and circus and their livelihood is based entirely on maintaining the mirage at any cost. “Money” is just such a sharp encapsulation of that kind of push-pull relationship.
