Music Video Shoot!

So we spent mother's day cooped up in an office space converted into a 50's style prom sauna. i say 50's prom because the video is shot in a 50's style with us wearing very classy vintage suits with the hair to match. i say sauna because man was it hot in there. i guess that's what happens when you block all the light and air from coming in the windows with dark blankets, light subjects with state of the art film lighting and have the smoke machine going full blast before every shot.

i am perhaps telling you too much info, giving away the surprise, and i may also sound whiny. i have nothing to whine about, however, because the experience was awesome to say the least. we were all extremely glad to have chosen our good friends to complete the task: Corey Fischer who produced the video (corey does so much for the band, our podcasts, our epk, our myspace page among many other things, and he's also coming on tour with us in may and june, selling merch, filming fights and taking part in the cruelest of hijinx), Lindsay George who filmed the whole thing, i believe they call her a DP or director of photography but i'm probably wrong as i understand little to nothing about the film world, and Mark Ratzlaff who directed the video. We have to send our sincerest of thanks to these three, who's professionalism was astounding to all of us. The 10 or 11 hours of filming in the 50's prom sauna and waiting around to film went by super fast and was tonnes of fun.

We're also extremely grateful for all the other people who took part doing hair, makeup, costumes, the girls who were in the video with us and the long list of gaffers, grips and other people behind the camera who worked their butts off all day doing a great list of things i could never truly comprehend. So again thank you all so much, i was extremely skeptical going in, but you have exceeded my expectations and i hope that we can all work together again in the future.

As for you others out there, we should have a lovely music video for your viewing pleasure very soon. Shall i tell you which song it is for?? mmmm... i may just leave that out for you to guess, or perhaps you have already heard rumours. In other news we will be running a facebook contest for our cross canada tour that we hope will be good fun to take part in and will also have some good prizes for the contestants who want to win it bad enough.
