When Kelly Cutrone introduced me to Jagger and Chilli Peppers producer Jimmy Boyle he played me his new song Butterfly. The song was so powerful that this music video just had to happen. One night I asked Jimmy to hold the camera and spin while singing the song all through the streets of New York City. He whirled from downtown New York through Musegarden studio to Times Square in 60 takes and didn’t even throw up once.
This is a quick character study. I walked into John Crawford’s blacksmith studio a little while ago and was instantly impressed by the atmosphere. A couple of friends agreed to be filmed a little bit and just improvise a story for an afternoon. Here are the results.
Big Thanks to Jonathan Laffey and Major West for the performances, Nicholas K for the clothing, John Crawford for the use of his space and Nine Inch Nails for publishing music with the creative commons license.
