“I Hate Your God” is not the title of Mitt Romney’s big speech from Thursday.  It’s the following video:

 This video has been removed. It has come to our attention that the artist, Michael Baldwin, also known as Murdok Hyde and Fanatomy among other aliases, may have plagarized all or parts of this song from another artist. Until the matter is resolved, this video will not be available for public viewing. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

We shot this video in Huntington last January for episode 14 of Radio Free Charleston.  Fanatomy was, at the time, a one-man-band consisting of Mike Baldwin, who wrote the song. 

The video was directed by me, with help from Melanie Larch.  It was a quick shoot and it’s great working with Murdok.  Since we made this video, Mike has left several towns.  

It was a blast working on this video.  It was a style of music near and dear to my heart, but one that we hadn’t featured on the show.  It was also our first intentionally lip-synched video.  I’d gone that route with “Guitar Pick In My Kool Aid” by The Concept, but that was a decision forced on us by the failure of a hard drive.

“I Hate Your God” was planned as a lip-synch video from the beginning.  We shot in a pedestrian tunnel under the railroad tracks in Huntington, and laid on tons of effects in post-production.
