So, I just got picked up to do my first music video and it's a little intimidating. The band I'm working with, Redemption 1:7, is really amazing, and they have brought a lot to the creative process. They really are that perfect mix between giving feedback, but still letting me own creative control. It really is starting out as a great working relationship.
That being said, this is my first music video ever and the story that we have going so far is going to require a ton of intense planning and coordination. If everything goes the way we hope it will, then I will end up with 50 or so extras on set… At night. It's a huge undertaking for anyone doing their first music video, but even larger considering the amount of light, or lack thereof, I will have at my disposal. It really is going to be a challenging, but exciting opportunity for me to test myself as a filmmaker and as a leader on set.
