My band's first video shoot!

[KzSgDrummer]

Yesterday we rented out a theatre and did a full-blown video shoot, and it was interesting.. learning dance moves and changing costumes every half hour certainly was something I've never done before.

The setting:

most of the shooting was done on a green screen:

Later on we changed the background to a glam look:

^those are the Steve Gadd K Custom hats, and look whose signature I got on them!

Congrats! Aren't video shoots weird and awkward? I always feel like they are a really strange part of the business. But's it's worth it when it is finished. Pretty sweet that Gadd signed your hats too.

Cool!
I`ve never had a video shoot but I guess it`s huge fun, especially when watching yourself in such a music video!
Are you gonna upload the video when it`s finished? I`d love to watch it `just as much as I love your band`s music.

Thanks for sharing these photos, looks like you all had a nice day at theatre! =)

Don't you love the hury up and wait game of shooting a video? LOL

Checked out the music online, I really like what you guys are doing. Kind of like club music with a live band, I have always wanted to do that.

Can't wait to check out the video.

Looks like a great time... I wish I had the opportunity...

And I checked out your live video, the one of "Stun Gun", and I've gotta say I'm really digging it. That was some sick funk, with great vocals, perfect pocket playing, and great flute[?!] accents. Loved it.
