Weird Al Yankovic – Hardware Store – Music Video
Thursday, February 25th, 2010
As part of my BA we have to create a “pop promo/music video”. For this I’ve picked Weird Al’s awesome “Hardware Store” After many long nights working on storyboards and anamatics (see my other videos) we finally had a final piece put together. Which I’m very happy to say got a rather good mark of 80.
Update: I should probably point out that 80 is a VERY good mark in UK Universities, whilst it is out of 100, 70 is a 1st which is the best you can get (3rd, 2:2, 2:1, 1) so I got the best, then some.
There are no swears in this song, and yes you do hear “automatic circumciser” which isn’t what you think it is. Google for the full lyrics.
You may have seen some of the many “Google Image” based videos for this song. This is a live action “real” version, the only one I know of in existence too. It was created entirely from scratch, filmed, edited and post production by myself, Dave Hartly & Christian Allan. Enjoy what we’ve created, I hope you like it.
Oh and finally a HUGE thank you to everyone who has watched, rated and commented on this video, its been hugely more popular than I could ever of imagined, glad you guys like it.
