Music Video Shoot

I'm actually pretty happy with how our music video is going. We got off to a bit of a rocky start with our planned song not working out, and then not being able to find a song at all until the day before filming. When I showed up on the first day having never heard the song were making a video for, and only being told to bring different pairs of shoes, I'll admit I was a little concerned. But as it turned out, being crunched for time forced us to think simply and efficiently, and our song ended up being about a weary traveler, and so we decided to shoot people walking in a ton of different shoes, on different textures and surfaces, and from different angles. We even did a cool stop motion animation of shoes walking down a path with no body attached, and if that doesn't come out too unexposed, I think that will be awesome. Breaking it down to a simple concept has created millions of really neat editing options that everyone is really excited about. Being new to directing, Kristina had to deal with a few pitfalls that caused some irritation all around, but we all worked it out together and it actually turned out to be a pretty fun experience.
