The old clips match the tone for "the preacher" so Amy (the director) used the old footage to set us apart from him. Plus, it's interesting to note that while the styles have changed, kids (and adults) haven't changed all that much. We (the band) are stuck somewhere in between.
We did do a few shots of us in black and white (the near/far shots for instance). I'm not sure what Amy's reason for color vs. black and white was. I'm sure she had one ... those film school kids always have their reasons.
