	The video images were shot by John Armstrong in Jasper National Park in March of 2000. This was the first footage ever taken on John's new Canon DV camera.
The still images were scanned from two Canadian five dollar bills (and old one and a new one).
	The music for 5 Bucks was taken from a piece called Heaving, which may be found on the Ancestors first self-titled recording. The song was recorded live in Kelly Pikula's basement sometime in late-1997. Tom was singing through a 2 litre plastic bottle.
