Hi, guys!

This is officially my first Music Video!

I have never done a music video before, but the band asked me if I could make them one for their MySpace page. I told them I could try. So, I stayed up for about 24 hours Sunday to Monday morning working on this thing, after staying up late on Saturday to shoot their performance that night. This video needed to be on their page Monday so that they could begin sending people to their page before a big show on Tuesday. Believe it or not I actually got everything done.

The name of the band is Tension Head and the reason it was so important to get the page ready is because on Tuesday, they opened for the band Hell Yeah. If you don't know, Hell Yeah is made up of Vinnie Paul and Rob Zilla of Pantera. The show was in Detroit last night and they really made belivers out of an audience of people who were there to see Hell Yeah.

So here is where you can find the video:

Since Monday, there have been about 286 hits on the video. They guys like it very much. It isn't perfect, but I think its a good first effort. But I'll tell you what, I am never going to try to do something like that in the time constraints I had for this.

Geez..... I should have my head examined......I'm still tired....

Hope you guys like it :)

....budget? What budget?!

The time constraint was 24hours. I was dead tired at the end of that edit. The end of the story is that the band got alot of hits on that video and that's a good thing. I love Metal. Frankly, I think its about time it got some credit and attention...

I'm glad you liked it...

A good start for your first video. Cant help thinking it would have looked better in black and white though...

The band wanted color, the customer is always right.....:)

Besides, since I use ambient light, I think that b&w might not have come off as well as I would have liked. Like if I'd had a lighting director....

On dealing with bands, especially more energetic Hardcore/Metal; let them know before the show to play to you when theyre up there. That is, if theyre planning on any extra flair (guitar spins, 360 flips, mic twirls), make sure they do it when you have the camera pointed at them. If its a good turnout for the venue, or if theres pit action or whatever, get some footage of that. While not neccesarily fitting to the particular song, hot drunk dancing girls are always good.
