Today we began making our first clip, its for our tune Volumetric. Its going to be a fun clip to make because the concept is pretty wild! Andrew is going to be the main character and we will all feature in the video at some point.
Ive been working with video for some time now and I think the secret to a good music video is a great concept. Don’t limit your ideas by saying ‘we cant do that’ or ‘that would be too hard’ etc. Get a concept that works and flesh it out. Work for a best case scenario. Once you have the ideas down, storyboard it as best you can. I like to be a little flexible with the story board, im quite spontaneous when filming – I think it allows the people on set a chance to throw in creative input. Some of the best shots and ideas have come on the day from a suggestion… “wouldn’t it be cool if we did this…”
Once you have your brilliant ideas down then you can problem solve, “how do we make this happen?” , 9/10 the answer isn’t money, it’s a mix of hard work and thinking outside the box. Remember it wont matter if its shot on an iphone taped to a drone or a 6k RED, if the concept is good it will shine through and if the concept is shit…
Anyways this is a pic of me on the set. Such a simple setup, a few chairs, couch, posters and mags, and suddenly we have a waiting room!
