Music: “Brother Down” by Sam Roberts (iTunes)
History:
As previously mentioned, Lunch wif Dan would not be the last of my encounters with the Brothers Buck. In November of 2007, the twins were in LA for the weekend, and asked if I wanted to meet up with them for a little session of sorts. We ended up going to The Getty, and in addition to showing each other what we’d come up with in the past year, we also got to look around at some of the sweet galleries there.
On our way out of the museum, I mentioned that I brought my camera, and the brothers suggested that we film something for the media section of their site. Dave and I took turns filming each other, and we ended up with about an hour of footage altogether. All in all it was a fun day, and it’s a shame that some of the funniest events weren’t captured on tape.
The editing process for the video took way longer than expected. Not that it was difficult, necessarily – I just didn’t have time to do it while finishing up my first semester in college. Finally, during my winter break in Singapore, I went over to Daren‘s house for the night to get the thing done and over with. Starting at 9pm at night, we stocked ourselves full of instant noodles and caffeine and finally finished at about 11 in the morning. So even though I walked around like a zombie for the rest of the day, it was worth it to finally see it all come together.
Fun Fact: The vanish during the credits isn’t a camera trick.

[...] was destined to have Emily Haine’s haunting voice in the background. And one of the reasons Portable Playground took so long to come out was because I had to find that one song that fit – eventually I did, and [...]
i think ive got it…do you drop it between the rocks??
Yup! You're the second person to get it, congrats.
It's funny, because while we were filming it Dave was like "people are gonna watch this and think 'man, they were bored…'" Hehe.

lol… just want to say that you have really inspired me. i watched the first virtuoso video soon after it came out and was hooked on flourishing ever since.many thanks.
lol still didnt' get it. Which rocks? i dont see any. and there's no suspicious move. but whatever.
I don't think Adam meant 'rocks' so much as 'cracks' – just think about it a little harder and you'll probably figure it out.
