Young Rival's new video took two years, four dot matrix printers and 1,200 pieces of paper
Last week we brought you the story of Young Rival's John Smith, not only the bassist of the band but the central creative force behind the band's inventive music videos.
Today, with the release of their new video for the song "Elevator" — a labour of love that took two years, four dot matrix printers and 1,200 individual pieces of paper (and that's only a few of the needed ingredients) — we're offering you a how-to. You know, just in case you have some time to kill and feel like making one of these yourself. Smith is taking you through the entire process, though we have a feeling it was a little less easy than he makes it sound.
