Christian Bovine wanted to become a filmmaker and instead became an expert in new media. You win some, you win some.
One of his school projects at NYU was making a video for The Polyphonic Spree's cover of the Nirvana classic Lithium using sock puppets, which was so good the band let it become its de facto official video:
Of course, the Spree is Tim DeLaughter's post-Tripping Daisy project, one that was shut down after the overdose death of guitarist Wes Berggren. I wasn't a fan of TD - particularly its fucking-annoying I Got A Girl mega-hit - but I can see now that DeLaughter actually has a decent artistic vision and some level of skill.
