After 8 months of planning, Music Video #2 finally starts shooting tomorrow. I can’t quite believe it. There is something so amazing about the day before a big shoot – the quiet before the storm. The last day before the imaginary pictures are replaced with real ones.
This project, my most ambitious to date, has been a true leap of faith. I experienced first hand the power of intention as everything fell into place. I was determined to get every location, person and piece of equipment and animal (yes, there are animals in the video!) precisely as I wanted, yet stay within a decent budget. On Friday the final pieces came together. I am in awe of the incredible deals I have received from random people to make this vision happen. I was nearly certain I would have to give up my goal of getting a special “slow-motion” camera. But then I found a great deal on the final shooting location. Then for some reason my rental house decided to give me a HUGE discount on this special camera. Nothing is compromised. I am full of gratitude to each person lending their touch to this project and for hearing my vision and helping me make it happen. Wow.
I will be documenting the shooting progress here on this blog. Mostly for my own amusement, but feel free to follow along! To me there is nothing more exciting than when a mental image begins to form in the tangible world as an artistic expression.
