Q: how did the video and the song hi it's 1995 came out what was the inspiration for that video
A: was written sometime in 2013, i was mostly doing revises and edits for existing songs, i don't know why the 1995 one came to me out of nowhere. being short, it reached 100% completion automatically, so it ended up in the 'completed songs' list which formed itself and then was arranged in order of time length, during 2013. and i started recording shortest-first, so naturally 1995 was one of the first ones. also, during 2013 i was trying to get started doing videos for them, which i was ALSO starting with shortest first. 1995 was sort of a stray, i was almost giving up on shortest first, and i had just finished building the website, and this was right before i spontaneously started the 5-day schedule. the concept for the video seemed straight forward. so i brainstormed a list of all the items - there were probably about 20-25 relevant items i came up with and found images for. and then i spent some time figuring out which ones to put where in the 5x3 grid. interestingly enough, a year later when i edited it for vine, i had room for one more item (vines are square, so it became a 4x4 grid, 16 items instead of 15.) so there is actually 1 additional item that got added to the vine edit
