We Love to Use the Telephone (standard version) music video

Watch the video

Standard Version

This is a music video I edited together using public domain films after getting permission from Weird Paul to feature his song "We Love to Use the Telephone". It's the second video I've created for this song. The first one was an extended version with a run time of ten minutes which took me weeks to edit.

While this shorter video uses the standard version of the song, it still was a tedious process that was beginning to drive me crazy. It started with finding several films containing scenes with telephones, picking the ones I liked, cutting them into short clips and then trying to decide the most relevant order to put them in relation to the lyrics.

Overall, I think it turned out well.

Can You Spot the Movie Star?

A famous movie star appears three times in the shorter music video. If you can identify him or her, let me know in the comments. You can phone a friend for help, if need be.

Extended Version

There's a few movie stars in this one also. See if you can spot them and identify them in the comments.

Weird Paul Interview

Paul was generous enough to answer some of my questions a while ago for an interview in which he discussed his prolific movie viewing, his home videos and his lo-fi music.

Weird Paul Documentary

A new documentary movie starring Weird Paul is scheduled to be released sometime in 2018. It's called Will Work for Views: The Lo-Fi Life of Weird Paul and it focuses on his creative YouTube content despite little reward in return.
