in continuarea articolului cu whole-trainul din nyc
de la asta,
ajungem la interviul de mai jos, luat de pe graffmuseum:
SASTER: Where is ‘Made You Look’ based?
MUL: Made U Look or MUL is originally a Chicago crew. We are not those guys. Most of the Graff writers on our team are from Brooklyn, a few from Manhattan, and the Bronx. All the guys know each other pretty well. Members vary in age, some aren’t even writers. On the DVD [coming out March 1st] we talk about how our crew hooked up and a little about each members past Graff experience. Some information is given on Internet promotion and who helped us with access to create the piece. We also discuss why we decided to use Made U Look NYC or MUL NYC, including an altercation in Chicago this past summer with one of our guys and Chicago MUL member and the meaning of the Monopoly man car.
SASTER: Has there been other productions like this one that Graff heads might not know about?
MUL: This is the first DVD release we did. Ideas of releasing a DVD started when we saw all of the conspiracy theories popping up. We were able to photo and video raw footage of the 10 cars and get access to the train afterwards to take nice clean shots in daylight. After releasing a few nice shots, everyone wanted the full story and raw footage to validate our claim. Knowing raw shots could cause legal action against us, we opted not to. The less we talked the more people kept talking. We have received email contacts from many different media agencies and simply declined comments.
SASTER: You have mentioned that you are going to auction off a DVD. Will you then release the same version to the public at some point?
MUL: We would love to release the DVD afterwards to the public but realized that by giving exclusive rights to an outside party may yield more money selling 1 copy then selling many copies at $20. Think about it, after someone got his or her hands on the video it would end up all over the Internet anyway, killing the value of the DVD. We’re gambling that this DVD could go for some good money if the media goes after the story.
With all of the attention that the MUL has been getting, they are making sure that they take full advantage of the opportunity to sell tee shirts as well. They informed me how well these items have been doing, and I am sure that there will be more items to come from the whole affair.
SASTER: Where can people cop a tee shirt from the MUL Crew?
MUL: Because there is too much pressure from law enforcement, we are no longer selling the shirts on the street. It’s just a bit too hot for us out there. We have been and still will be selling the shirts online. Serious thought and work has allowed us to do this without legal fallout.
There is no question in my head… these guys have it all planned out. They have captured an audience, but I am not sure where it is going to lead in the next episode. One thing I can tell you is that without a doubt….. they Made U Look!
All of the rules regarding the auction for the MUL DVD will be announced two weeks prior to its release.
