To the “Crazy” post, (the incredibly talented) Hunter commented:

Nice video, and I hate to burst your bubble, but it’s already been done…and with a better song.

He is referring to Smog’s “Rock Bottom Riser” which is a song I have not heard before but I am glad I did because it is absolutely beautiful. The video is also quite good, however, in my opinion not as great as “Crazy.” The fluid style I have seen before and these videos are both adept in using it to create a visual language. But it feels like the “Crazy” video is grounded in the song, and not in the effect. Its playfulness, its diversity of tone also shows its genius. But I still think “Rock Bottom Riser” is an awesome video.
