High Five (2014) (Special Editon)

Sometimes you just have to get stupid.Show more

Featuring the legendary Bixby Moto!

This upload is the 2016 "Special Edition" that fixed a couple of mistakes and added some minute, but improving, differences. The original will always be available on YouTube - at least, until it gets removed for "guideline violations".

Director’s notes:
I pursued this video with fellow filmmaker Jake Hilger as a way for the two of us to decompress from taking film too seriously. I thought the idea of two overstuffed 1980’s badasses slugging it out on rickety little mopeds was a funny one, and after a couple of afternoons listening to a few Retro New Wave songs, I had the shot list ready. It wasn't long before my friends at Bixby Moto could smell the stupid and jumped on board.
The style of High Five is inspired by action hero flicks of the 1980’s, such as "Terminator 2" (Kev's costume was based off the T-1000 in that movie) and "Mad Max", with a little bit of "Top Gun" thrown in for good measure.
The color grading in many shots was inspired by 1990's “Days Of Thunder”.
And yes, the inconsistent lighting and variable color timing is completely intentional. It’s called having fun. Deal with it.
