The Videos - Here Comes the Summertime



Here Comes the Summertime was actually the first video we made, way back in 2008 while we were working on the early demo versions of the album

It also has the rare distinction of only having come out as a single because of the video. The original intention when Transmission came out was to release some kind of video for a number of tracks, not just the singles. But Here Comes the Summertime is one of the longest tracks on the album, and we couldn't really be bothered filming enough footage to keep it interesting for five minutes. So we started work on an edit, and everything just spiralled out of control from there.

In the end, the plan to make lots of videos never actually came to fruition because we were too busy, and also we didn't know what we were doing with the video editing software, as you can probably tell.



Sappy's version of the video takes some of the footage from ours, but also uses some fun 3D model footage, which mixes in rather well actually.
