If this music video was directed and edited by Lawrence Whelk then where are the bubbles? posted by three blind mice at 7:35 AM on December 5, 2012
Don't mock him for his clothes allergy, its a serious condition.
He also makes comics, though the one I read was PURE FILTH. posted by Artw at 7:42 AM on December 5, 2012 [1 favorite]
You just think that because of how the elephant reacted to the ice cream in the best scene ever. posted by shakespeherian at 7:46 AM on December 5, 2012

Ironically, this thread just the broke the record for consecutive comments without one from The Whelk.
Is he okay? Has anybody tried MeMailing him?! posted by etc. at 8:12 AM on December 5, 2012 [17 favorites]
More than two months after His Whelkness posted it to Projects? He's probably forgotten he did it, having accomplished 47 other things in the days since... including overcoming his clothes allergy. So add "Cleans Up Well" to his long list of credits. (Also "Bagel Connoisseur", but that's story for another place) posted by oneswellfoop at 9:42 AM on December 5, 2012
To be honest, this is kind of what I imagined The Whelk did when he was just hanging out. I suspect that the alleged "music video" is just incidental. posted by 1adam12 at 11:41 AM on December 5, 2012 [1 favorite]

One of his friends just happened to have a camera with them. Another friend said, "Hey, this would work well with a song I wrote!" It was pure kismet. posted by asnider at 12:58 PM on December 5, 2012

I wish. I'd like the two months searching for a decent studio to shoot in back.
So yeah! Excited to see this here, it took months to put together but I wanted to prove I could produce something slightly more ambitious than 3 minute comedy skits. I wanna want ot thank my DP Keith Jensen/Brainwomb, he was so tolerant of me going " the thing with the focus where its blurry." "Focal length?" "Yes! and gesturing at bounce lamps and the like. The guy knows his color and is willing to film while hanging upside down on a ladder.
Also! Hermitosis got me in contact with Iris Explosion who gave great face and he helped with some of the Tarot imagery along with Katelan.
I was inspired by the two-years in the making stop-motion music video for another of Kim's songs I Have Your heart . It's freaking beautiful.
I thought his shirt allergy just meant he was a werewolf. Does he respect all international borders and boundaries? Does he dig dreamcatchers? posted by TheWhiteSkull at 1:10 PM on December 5, 2012
Is he Metafilter's answer to Chuck Norris? posted by Sparx at 1:11 PM on December 5, 2012
