looking back on the project 3 film shoot

the music video shoot of Wax Lips was frickin awesome. we shot for an entire saturday, meeting bright and early at 8:30. the bulk of the shoot took place in the drummer's house. we completely rearranged the living room space into a dance floor for the extras and set the band up in a corner next to the massive stone fire place. my job was lighting, so i checked out several lights (300, 650, and a 1k), a ton of green, blue, and orange gels, diffusion, flags, c-stands, and the like. we had various lighting setups for the band (alternating between those 3 colors) to give off a concert feel. we also had a scene that took place at a bar inside of their house and i decided to light it green and orange. the make-out scene was lit blue, of course. later that night, we shot at lucky's pub while the band performed on stage. lauren kicked ass as the producer and assistant director. will and alex were in top form as director and DP. great great crew! all in all it was one hell of a fun shoot, and i just wanted to thank darion for coming out to help.
