Busy Filming My 2nd Music Video

Yesterday was a mini-dream-come-true for me – I got to direct and film a music video for a friend of mine.

Michael Chen’s taking his music interest forward so we spoke of doing a music video for him. 

After 5 hrs of shooting we are halfway!

That’s mainly due to lighting which is a science and art I’m still learning to master.

I’ve been looking forward to filming anything these holidays and this was a brilliant challenge and most satisfying. I always dream of being on a massive set with lights, cranes, dollies, cables, etc & yesterday was our own mini-version. We even had a storyboard.

Filming has been one of  my main highlights of 2011, especially building my own rigs and gear with mainly PVC piping.

How to be a music video director? Answer: just call yourself one.. that’s how I’m doing it.
