A Rushmore Inspired Music Video

Posted on Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

The debut music video from Company of Thieves, is inspired by Wes Anderson’s Rushmore. The video for the song “Oscar Wilde” was filmed at Sycamore Elementary School in Kokomo, Indiana, over the course of just one day in December 2008. It includes over 60 props which were mostly bought from flea markets and vintage stores. The video was shot on Kodak Vision3 500T 16mm film using an Eclair ACL camera with 12mm and 14mm lenses, with 23 lighting setups. The footage was digitally transferred to uncompressed 10 bit format and edited in Final Cut. If you like the song, it’s available for free download.

  • Thanks DS!
  • Sho thing.
  • Oh Rushmore, how I love thee.
  • frank c
    what an original concept
  • Actually, wouldn't it be the opposite since it's inspired from another concept?

    Regardless, it's awesome to see bands give a nod to great film directors. Great style.

    Seriously, /film you made my day too. I was having a tough time today and wow this really set my mind straight. Thanks!

    The Darjeeling Limited
    The Royal Tenenbaums
    Rushmore
    Bottle Rocket

    Royal Tenenbaums is my personal favorite. Great actors and quirky as ever.
  • I just watched Rushmore for the first time on Saturday. If I was in an anime, this would be the point where my eyes get all huge and watery and little hearts float around my head. Max Fischer... swoon.
    Anywaaaaay. Lovely song. I really love the tone of that girl's voice.
  • tunaonrice
    Not about Wes Anderson, about the director of the music video. I love Rushmore cus it shows how great Houston is, even if it is not the a central character of the city.

    are we going to see anything from Wes Anderson anytime soon?
  • best of both worlds: indie cinema and indie music. cool song and great video.

    edit: that would be a good idea for a GeekBomb. "Music Videos inspired by Movies."
  • Her gum didn't stick.
