A music video to keep the virus away

Ive been fighting this evil virus for about a week now, and I've been stuck in my bedroom too weak to do or even eat anything..so the only way to get me back on my feet was by getting involved in a fun project!

I will be production designing a music video for the talented, inspiring Narai Dawn (www.myspace.com/naraimusic), an old friend of Brendan Uegama's, my filmmaker pal. The song is called "In the light" but its not online yet. I met with both of them a couple times before and we have decided to shoot it on the 15, 16 and 17th of June, in a few weeks!

This wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt because the sets we have to build are totally insane. Walls made of white fabric material that peel on touch and ooze bright colors! Large amounts of primary color paint being splashed (and exploded in slo-mo) on the band and on a white walled set, while an open window blows wind into the room..all shot in different cameras - 35mm, 16mm, s8mm, and Red! Its going to be awesome!

I've already enlisted the brains of my trusted Art Director (and muse) Oshy Parasol, so I know this will be a good one - the abstract painterly style is right up her alley. I also hired the multi-talented construction coordinator Adrian Walker, who did the frames for my sets on our previous show (Gloo Studios and Erick Boychuk's Mayan Calendar). The core art team is almost together. Just need a good Set Dec/Propmaster and a team of artists and construction ninjas and we'll be good to go! w00t!
