DIRECTOR’S CUT
The Matches “What Katie Said” Music Video
directed by Lady Ransom
http://www.ladyransom.com
Lady Ransom was commissioned by The Matches to shoot the video for What Katie Said. The video was shot on January 13th and 14th of 2007. Because of low budget restraints, the post effects were started but never finished by an fx artist who was doing the work for free in his spare time. Unfortunately the visual fx artist committed to the job but could not finish, forcing a huge delay in release. The band in July of 2007 took over the post fx and Lady Ransom hired, Jason Forman to finish their director’s cut. The band has the same exact footage. Our director’s cut was finished mid February of 2008. This video isn’t leaked by any means, it’s sole purpose is to showcase the directors work, as negotiated with the label and the band. Because of the delay in release, and the timing it had with the band’s release of their new album and new music video, they weren’t going to release anything off the old album. The timing was terrible and the delay was extremely unfortunate. With respect of the new album coming out, Lady Ransom in good faith with Epitaph did not make public their Director’s cut until now. We hope however that the Matches fans out there like this video! The Matches are very talented and were great to work with and we wish them all the best luck with their new album. We had a whole crew of people working really hard on this video and for nothing at all, other than to make something fun and creative for everyone to enjoy. So with that said! ENJOY! and please check out our other videos!
