Kiss Kiss Goodnight

Finally this video has seen the light of day (and so is my personal write up it about.) When I pitched the idea to GMK it sounded so simple…

We are going to put you in little boxes like the Brady Bunch then we are going to have a bunch of Adult Swim cartoons around you… Cool? COOL!!!

Not cool!!! Shooting it was very easy… this was my 1st time ever using a green screen and I had to order one from SITE. It was cheap 20 bucks then I went and got 20 bucks worth of flood lights from Home Depot. Everyone showed up on time, and we manged to shoot the whole video in about six hours, including lunch… a very tasty bowl of Phu with extra noodles. Gmk is always a pleasure to work with. He actually gets the relationship between the camera and the artist. The cute lil lady who worked as our “video model” was a little more difficult for me to get what I wanted out of her… It wasn’t her fault it was more my fault. As I would learn later shooting the Taywill video, I have a hard time directing women… I think I try to be to nice and respectful and chose word that don’t carry enough passion to project through the lens.

But all in all, the video was easy to shoot, but editing was a pain in the ass.

I had to actually edit nine videos all to the beat then paste them together as one video. The I had to use chroma key (which I learned how to use watching youtube) to remove that background, then I had to replace the background with pictures (the hardest part was finding the right background to go with each vid). Then came the resizing… wow!!!!!! Very HARD TO DO and I really didn’t do it right, but I did it right enough where the average person can’t tell. Well I hope you enjoy it…
