AFI "I Hope You Suffer" (Brad Palmer & Brian Palmer, dir.)

After creating a very poetic and crypitic series of five films for the band, AFI approached SURROUND to direct the video for the 1st single "I Hope You Suffer" off their forthcoming album Burials — produced by Gil Norton (Pixies, Patti Smith, Foo Fighters) and set to release in October. 

Directors Brad Palmer and Brian Palmer felt that it was time to reveal the band to their massive fan base after creating a very visual five part film series that had already set the tone for what AFI was about to launch.

Kevin Rudolf "Here's To Us" (Kevin Rudolf, dir.)

Kevin Rudolf - Here's To Us

Instead of a traditional video, Kevin Rudolf lets 94 clips tell the emotions of the song. And instead of just sourcing generic stock footage, Rudolf and the Vulpine Films crew use a mix that veers from Rudolf's personal videos to classic films to famous faces and even well-known YouTube clips. As any producer could probably tell you, that meant the arduous task of reserching original ownership of each clip and obtaining clearances — an especially odd journey in this case that led them to the Albert Einstein and Evel Kneival estates, in addition to regular folks who happened to post videos to YouTube that caught their attention.
