Lowest of the Low — The Moon and the Stars and the Sky and the Sea Directed and edited by David Ray Alexander 
Instagram: @lowdrummer 
I shot the video for "The Moon and The Stars and the Sky and the Sea" in the late summer of 2025 in the alley behind Ron Hawkins' house and at the Canadian National Exhibition where I worked as the Midway Stage Manager. 
The video is a collage of hand-cut text, guerrilla camera work, unplanned by-chance clips and composites. I like to shoot fast and reckless on a tight deadline without a script in environments that force quick decisions. 
The result is a spontaneous visual collage that I think captures the band’s signature blend of DIY artistry and poetic grit.

Lowest of the Low — The Moon and the Stars and the Sky and the Sea

Lowest Of The Low November 14, 2025 11:00 am

Lovers are the centre of their own great story, protagonists in their own film, intertwined and completing each other. 
The night has a thousand anonymous eyes… still, you’re the only one I see.
Directed, animated and edited by David Ray Alexander

Band Press Photos: Bob Ciolfi  www.quietlifephotography.ca
Creator David Ray Alexander, as a digital effects artist, wanted to see how far he could push his knowledge of the AI workflow to transform single still images into moving sequences. THE ONLY ONE I SEE appears to be 100 short video clips (which it ultimately is) but the actual source material comes from individual still photographs referenced from public domain and the band's personal archive. Custom models and prompts were used to create over a thousand sequences that were curated and edited for the finished video.

During the first year of the Covid 19 pandemic, Ron Hawkins regularly broadcast free concerts from his living room on Facebook in order to provide entertainment and maintain a sense of community in a time when isolation was mandated by the external threat to public health. 
These shows were known as Tommy Douglas Tuesdays. 
In early 2021 a high-school teacher and football coach named Dave Morrissey came up with a plan to say thank you. He reached out to musicians, Ron's friends and bandmates and collaborators to see if he could gather material to create an episode of Tommy Douglas Tuesday that Ron could actually watch.
The resulting collection of performances is an extraordinary dive into one of Canada's finest song repertoires, re-imagined by an array of artists who represent a powerfully strong music community that can't wait to get out and play for people again. 
This program premiered on Facebook on March 9th, 2021.
