Music Video – Dec 27, 2009

This is a video I did for Foster Irwin. It was his submission to the Bushman World Ukulele Video Contest. We ended up taking the 10th Honorable Mention spot. The director of the comment ended up sending a direct message via Twitter to Foster letting him know he felt we “should have placed better and most people didn’t understand the subtle message we portrayed” in our video. It was a pretty cool experience.

I wrote the story, filmed, directed and edited this music video. Forster performed and sang, and our lovely actors were my good friends Mike and Nikki Hall. Chris Evans helped me run the shoot as my Assistant Director. It was a good three hour shoot plus an additional two hours of editing. I was happy with it considering we had no tripod, no professional lighting (just two hardware lamps with photo bulbs) and a pressed time schedule. I’m just excited that it’s now on my website theycallmephil.com
