Gloriana Shoot


I went to Spokane, and Seattle Washington as well as Portland, Oregon to shoot a music video with a company in Nashville called Gamma Blast. The band we shot is shown below and they open for Taylor Swift on her Fearless Tour she's on right now.


The picture above is a picture I took with Chad, the guy in the red shirt's, camera. I think it looks pretty fantastic, however the camera is like $13,000.

This is me and the DP (director of photography) Bill in the lockers at the Rose Garden in Portland Oregon which was our last stop. I had a lot of fun on this shoot. Definitely the most exciting one I've ever done.
This is a shot with the entire crew and the band. I actually made fun of Tom, the guy on the end in the blazer's, smile right before this picture was taken. No worries, he was totally cool with it, we were joking back and forth afterward, and I didn't lose my job!

I also got to see Moe while I was in Seattle, however I don't have a camera so there is no picture proof this happened, but I swear it did! I literally called her at like midnight and she came and picked me up, we went to her and Andrew's apartment, I ate a lean pocket, had some bubble tea (my first) and then they took me back to my hotel. It was far too short, and next time I'm out there I'm making it a point to stay much longer :)

I didn't get to see much of the cities we were in, we were pretty busy shooting the band, but what I did see I liked. The drive from Seattle to Portland was a very pretty one and we stopped in Olympia, Washington to eat lunch which was fun. The restaurant we went to used to be a pool hall and whore house I think at one point, but they've fixed up since then ;) All in all it was a pretty fun trip. Where this takes me I don't know, but it should be interesting to find out!

And that my friends, as they say in the business, is a wrap!
