Just got back from a weekend of hard-and-fast music video photography with director Trevor Durtschi and producer Geoffrey Leatham in Ridgecrest, CA. That's another couple hours north of Palmdale, which is my typical measure for "out there a bit." The town was a great place to shoot, though; Geoffrey sourced PAs and extras locally and found all of our locations at no charge. It's always a relief to get out of Los Angeles and remember how psyched most people are about what we do for a living."Haley" is a video about an old miner looking back and realizing that he's missed who could have been the love of his life. Trevor and Geoffrey's biggest concern was to aim for a more cinematic look than a video, graphic look; every shot was to be more about telling the story than about sweet lens flare. So the video has a more measured rhythm throughout the story segments.
It was cold up north; the only break we got was our second night exterior, which featured two raging bonfires, courtesy of our pyro team.
