-Back in March of this year, work started on a music video for the song “I’ve Seen The Light Tonight.” Eight months later (!), the second half of the video was completed. Pics can be seen on the CAROLINE BLUE FACEBOOK PAGE. Below is a recap. Now starts the editing-keep a watch out for more news on this!
-Here’s pics taken during 2 separate shoots for the “I’ve Seen the Light” video shoot.Both were done at Strangeland Audio Studios in Phoenix, NY. This is kind of a Flashback video to when the Not For The Innocent CD was being recorded back in 2007. Well, not an exact backtrack 🙂
-The 1st session was done the day right …after CAROLINE BLUE had performed at Fusions in -Syracuse, NY. The band was a little beat from the night before. This was mostly performance syncing with each band member having one scene to speak a line. I (WWJ) came up with the script for this one. Film Producer Ron Bonk was again used in the filming of all this.
-This session went OK.It took a little longer than anticipated. I was personally drained & worn out-not just from the show but due to several events that had happened previously. This shoot was OK-more somber with some tension thrown in. Things would start to change heavily for the band 11 days from this shoot in large part because of those events-but that story is best told on another day….
-I worked on trying to get the 2nd half of this video done for quite awhile-but there was always a schedule conflict somewhere. Finally I was able to secure people & time. The 2nd shoot was earlier today 11/14/10. This one was all dialogue-with me getting a taste of what it’s like to do a little directing. In addition to Ron filming, we had Scoot Patnode, owner of Strangeland, and Film Maker Brian Hewitt this night. This took 2-3 hours to shoot-and it was a lot of fun. Again, we were going based on my script but there was some improv…and I have to say this was an awesome night of filming. Everyone did their job well and we were all laughing a lot thru out-which was quite a contrast to the 1st shoot.
-I want to thank Scott, Brian & Ron for all their great work tonight-as well as Doc & Joe during the previous shoot’s work. I believe this will be a fun video to watch when all is said & done. Keep on the look out for this!
