My first music video

My first music video · December 14th, 2009, 02:23 PM

Hi everyone, I know this is a bit OT for this board but I wanted to share it with my fellow wedding/event people. I'm excited to have just finished my first music video. As many of you probably know my work primarily involves wedding/events and occasionally commercial and corporate work.

At my own wedding this past February I ran into my cousin whom I haven’t seen in many years. Growing up I remember her always being involved with music with a particular affinity for piano. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that she’s now a Contemporary Christian artist who just published her first album- available on iTunes and CDbaby (re: Caitlin Jane).

After I got a chance to actually listen to her album I was blown away. It sounded great, and she is extremely talented! We touched base after the wedding and threw some ideas around and decided to produce a music video for one of her newer songs entitled “Unborn”.

The song tackles the issue of teen pregnancy and abortion in loving, non-aggressive way. I was thrilled to be starting such a cool project and, as a Christian myself, to be part of something sending such a poignant message.

Thank you all for taking the time to watch.

I'm a bit worried about all the overheating I've been hearing about- however putting it in perspective, there are very few environments where I think I'd trigger it. That said my USVI shoot recently WOULD have been one of them. Thankfully I decided at the last moment to bring the A1s and not the 7Ds.

Wow I think I just cried a little. Very touching song.. and your skills, amazing!

Glenn, it's great to see this piece getting the attention it deserves. It's something like -20C out right now ... meaning at least overheating would be the last of your concerns ;-)

Cheers,

Thanks Dennis! lol- maybe freezing concerns at that point! ;) I thought it was bad here- you Canadians are brave folk! Do you all drive Subarus with Blizzak tires or what?!

Glen,
Just ran across this and, like others, was drawn into the story from the very beginning - not thinking about the technical details of the shoot. Captivating the viewer's attention from the start is the work of a skilled artist. Your "brush strokes" were masterful! Keep it up and thanks for sharing and inspiring us.
