Daily and Vincent Shoot

This past Wednesday I had the privilege to work on my first Country music video here in Nashville! My good friend Julian Smith was directing and shooting this video and he asked me if I could come out and help. The cool part about this video was the we shot it in Northstar Studios in Nashville. The people over there are fantastic and were more than willing to help us out with whatever we needed.


I got to drive a big ole lift around and rig 2k's all over the ceiling which, I have to admit, I was a little nervous about seeing as this was my first serious rigging job I had done in almost a year. But it was a blast, everything came back to me and we got the sound stage lit up fairly quickly.

Here is Julian, sitting down on the job.

This was the lighting board that Julian and I sat down and figured out how to use just days prior to the shoot.





Over all I think the shoot went pretty well. I got to be everything from a lighting director to the dolly grip. Josh Lovell, Josh Taylor, Andy Merrick, and Chelsea Crawford also were big helps.

I am currently editing the video so here is a sweet little screenshot.

My Incredibly Short Trip to LA



Hey people who read my blog...all 3 of you...I went to LA this past weekend.

My friend Julian Smith was shooting a music video and the producer was kind enough to fly me out to help. I got in Saturday mid morning and Julian and I drove around LA to let me be a tourist.




We went to in and out burger...of course.




Went back to Will's(the really cool guy I stayed with) place and then he took us out for dinner and time crisis.

Sunday was the music video day:








I basically set up all the dolly track and myself and a couple others set up all the lights. I also shot some BTS footage and various other things. It was cold and we didn't get done til real late, but it was a blast. Woke up and flew home the next day! So all in all it was a good trip. I wish I had gotten to stay a little longer to get a feel for LA, but that will have to happen another time.
