Postal Service Music Video by Jared Hess


For those who don't know, Jared Hess directed Napoleon Dynamite. Today I stumbled upon a music video he directed for The Postal Service. I love it. If you're not familiar with The Postal Service, here's info from wikipedia:

The Postal Service is an American electronic indie pop band composed of vocalist Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie and producer Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel, Headset and Figurine.
The band's name was chosen due to the way in which they produced its songs. Tamborello wrote and performed instrumental tracks and then sent the DATs to Gibbard, who edited the song as he saw fit (adding his vocals along the way), sending them back to Tamborello via the United States Postal Service.

True story:

I was hanging out with Brian Wilcox at the LDS Motion Picture Studio one day and Munn Powell shows up with his computer. He was like, "hey Brian, check these shots out that I just did with Jared" and he proceeds to show us the footage of this music video (not-yet released).
I was so jazzed! I freakin' love the Postal Service and that totally made my day that day!
