LAP TV: Featuring Gunmetal Geisha And Ned Hickson
You never know where a correspondent of LAP is going to show up!
Such is the case with Gunmetal Geisha and Ned Hickson.
They both can be found directing this month! (Not directing the month...directing in the month....you know what we mean! Stop that!)
First is a a music video directed by:
Gunmetal Geisha
The singer is Vienna D’Amato Hall. The name of the song is, It’s What the Dog Saw.
We kind of think of the music as if Fiona Apple meshed with Tori Amos who instead of playing piano, played guitar like a less distorted Jesus and Mary Chain…
Was that too much?
A little too hipster in the description?
A little too much knowledge drop in music genre pool?
A little too much thumb our noses in your general musical direction?
OK, whatever. Judge for yourself, and watch the video.
Next is a preview for a new movie directed by:
Ned Hickson
Yes, this will be another Batman story, but unlike any you ever saw before. This is a new Batman!
No Ben Affleck.
No George Clooney.
No fancy outlandish weird vehicles.
No crazy budget.
Just good stripped down story telling that will have you hanging on the edge of your seat.
See the preview here first!

I think Ned’s on to something here… batman as a cat or something. As for the music selection, I can’t really quantify what I watched. I get the impression that Ms. Hall probably just stopped wearing black lipstick, mascara smears, cutting, and mumbling about ‘how bullshit life is because my dad doesn’t understand me.’ Post-Emo Hipster: bullshit about everything before bullshit was cool.

I think the dog was just looking at a cat…putting the music aside, I think Geisha’s video was done very well…like MTV of the 80s.

GG! You’re back! Awesome! Well now, you have interesting taste in music. Talk about fresh – whew. We here in Ontario Canada lay at least partial claim to Vienna as she spends some time only about 300 miles from where i am in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. Great music – a bit of angst overlaid with an upbeat hopefulness – resonates with reality. there are shades of other local female artists like Morrissette in the music although Vienna’s stuff is unique.Interestingly her photo profile shows a distinct resemblance to your profile GG.
Great to see you back, I hope all is going well for you. I’ve been doing some guest blogging over at https://julienoblog.wordpress.com/ . I did the Love and Gravity Essay there recently and other stuff before that. I look forward to seeing you do some more blogging. Carry on GG! You Rock!
Ned – you old cat herder you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk7yqlTMvp8 This video went a long way to helping me understand just exactly who you were and where you came from. I can certainly see shades of your family cat herding background in your most current works – be it a conversation with a cat on a washer or the Bat Cat. I eagerly await your next big production with cats – an under-served genre on You tube.
(See how well I’ve adapted to my upside down “o” on my keyboard?)

Thinks for stopping by and the plug. GG and Ned both are awesome. I haven’t heard of Vienna before this, but I’ll definitely check out some of her other stuff.

Loved GG’s video ā the imagery was terrific, which isn’t a surprise considering the source. And as far as my video, I’m in negotiations with the Feline Actor’s Union for a sequal. But first, I need to change the catbox…

That’s cool of you to say, Ned, thank you! And haha, “somebody feed me, damn it!” I enjoyed your other video too—on Instagram I think…

Thanks, GG! Hopefully, we’ll get to team up some day on a project for real. Just don’t tell Ben Affleck…

Hey Paul! Now tell me that you know about Vienna’s Canada-origins through some bio or social media, or did you already know of her?

Hi GG! I keep an ear to the ground. Believe it or not I still listen to radio by times – I know I know old timer, but I do it on line, does that count? – and she gets play on new talent shows here. I like her stuff – great choice! I hope all is going well – I actually wondered if you were maybe involved in her production but I checked and couldn’t find any link. It sounded like something you might enjoy doing- video production for up and coming artists. Take care of yourself GG – don’t be such a stranger. š

I don’t believe I am a fan of Vienna, the song just sounds a tad depressing for me. As for the Batman video, I’m more of a fan of the Batman and Robin television show.

Low-grade stills and a cell-phone video (shot with the camera the wrong way) of a cat do not constitute a trailer. Ugh.

I think your missing the humor….plus this is just the first edit of the film. The finished movie will blow you away.
