The Four Hour Shoot / Bailey Callahan Video

I was hoping to share mine and my friend Russell Wolff‘s zero-budget guerrilla video production for Florida singer-songwriter Bailey Callahan. While we were pretty lucky to own the gear (so no equipment costs), we worked off a quick-and-dirty storyboard and headed out with Bailey, her mother and brother to shoot some quick and dirty video. We found a fella on the beach who became the ‘love-interest’, and found everyone staying out of our way. The local coffee shop on the Redondo Beach Pier was kind enough to allow us to use their venue; and with few chances for second takes, we ended up with some footage that we assembled.

Adobe Premiere EditThe total shooting time was four hours and the editing time probably neared a total of twelve hours or so.  I’d imagine that this is a fine ratio given the complications in using limited footage filled with all kinds of challenges. Russell and I were pretty proud of what we were able to assemble.

So enjoy!  It’s a fine song with a talented young artist.
