PROJECT NAME: Music video for Floater
PROJECT GOALS: To create a serious, dramatic music video in one weekend
PROJECT NARRATIVE: My friend Heather’s co-worker’s friends Kyle and Adam (did you get that?) produce videos in Portland. Last March 2009, they needed help with a music video for the local band Floater, and I volunteered my assistance. The first day we shot under the Burnside and Hawthorne bridges where I helped direct traffic and was a gracious gofer. And yes, I made chocolate chip cookies for the crew…maybe I have a future in craft service.
The second day we shot at Zilla Sake on Alberta where most of the day was spent on getting the lighting right. For 15 seconds of video footage, it sometimes may take 5 hours of lighting and setup. After tape began rolling, they decided they needed another tall blond for the bar scene. So I threw on a change of clothes and made my debut as an extra. Look closely in this video and you may see me if you don’t blink.
This year, Adam and Kyle were so generous to come talk to my Intro to Digital Video class about their work and career opportunities in video.
