DESCRIPTION:
The world premiere of this music video screened August 28th, 2010 at Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge in Alameda. It opened for Brokken Wralstad's film: "The Forbidden Island" his film (which I was cinematographer on) and "Getaway Car" both went over like gangbusters people loved these pieces!

Thee Swank Bastards are: Jesse Del Quardo on smokin' surf guitar, Shaun Coleman on bass, Eric Schauer on percussion and Szandora Lavey stripteasing and tearing it up!

What your about to see is their original trademark tune called: "Getaway Car" fresh out of the post production suite and it smokes!

Brokken Wralstad and myself (Christopher Sorrenti) shot this in the mother of all dive bars, The Double Down Saloon in Las Vegas Nevada. This is one of "Thee Bastards" live performance for their up and coming music performance video DVD.

I received many compliments afterwards about how I accomplished this "film look" in post and how great the two videos were.

The current trend in music videos today is a destroyed organic film "look" which I have painstakingly archived here in this next video. You'll notice this piece has been severely damaged, degraded and filled with tasteful flawed foreign artifacts all done in post to give that organic look and feel. I call this de-massaging the image.

Basically, It looks like the 16mm negitive was put in a gutter in front of a livery stable and horses trampled over the negative! Your going to see scratches, dust, dirt, mold, frame jitter, gate weave and light leaks to name a few!

So, in the sprit of Grindhouse I bring to you the "Bastardized" (no pun intended) version of "Getaway Car" enjoy!
