Lipa Schmeltzer
5 years ago I had the pleasure of creating this video for Lipa Schmeltzer. It was a very fun video to make, and became an internet sensation. Garnering millions of hits and was featured as one of the top videos on Google video. Because of retail sales issues, the video was taken off the net, and has only been seen by people who purchased the HASC 18 DVD.
When I was in Israel a few years ago eating a schwarma at MASSOV, the young yeshiva boys at the table next to me were discussing this very video. It made me smile to know something I made had such a life of its own.
The part of the video with all the Lipa heads came to me in a dream the night before I shot it. I think it might have been slighty inspired by that old dee-lite video.
Lipa has been in trouble recently with a bunch of Rabbis, he had to cancel a big concert at Madison Square garden, because they felt if he played his music on Purim, it would have caused a riotous party and you can only imagine what would happen if a bunch of guys had that much fun!
This video was great fun to make and helped me make my mark in Jewish Music.
