Video Concepts & Practice Class Creates Music Video for Local Band

MFA Will Major’s Video Concepts & Practice Class produced a music video for the Athens band Kwazymoto, titled ‘Death Gallop’. The video was directed by Will Major and created as a final project for the class he teaches at the Lamar Dodd School of Art . Frontman Ian Hemerlein’s sister, Lauren Hemerlein, had been a part of many of the visual aspects of Kwazymoto in the past. She was a student in Major’s class, Video Concepts & Practice, and approached the band with the idea to volunteer their song for the class’s final project.

The song is from Kwazymoto’s EP called “Kill or Be Killed” that was released last month. It was tracked by Zeke Sayer at Gypsy Farm Studio and mixed/mastered by Joel Hatstat. The EP is about internal struggles dealt with during the creative process. Specifically, Death Gallop asks the age-old question –  can we be happy and great at the same time?
