keep all your receipts

Wow that song will be in my head for a very long time! What a fun day! It took a long time to gather all the props and load them into my car. It is more difficult to find old electronic devices than I thought! I spent a lot of time searching through every thrift/bargain store in town. We shot in room 2002 of the CIS building and put together a little office setup. Everything looks fairly normal at the beginning of the shoot until the very end when everything unwinds and goes crazy! We really made a mess in there.... but cleaned it all up of course. Our band members Tim & Dustin, Michelle, Haley, Royce, my roommate Jessica, our friend Abby, were all amazing! I was really happy with how smoothly it went and I think everyone else had a good time. It was hard me not to waste time giving everyone a lot of hugs because I was really excited. I typed up all of my ideas so everyone could see what was going on in my head. Everyone seemed to like them and everyone on set contributed to help build the "vision" I had. My favorite part was when I gave all of our "stage crew" members each a set of different directions. I asked them to do their assigned "tasks" at the same time so we could watch it all unfold simultaneously on film. Being in the middle of all this as it was occurring was really impressive to me, I'm just crossing my fingers that it has the same feel on screen. We filmed in a tight space that gives it a claustrophobic and chaotic feel as this group of people are all walking and dancing around the office. We ran out of time to do some other things we thought would be cool, but it wasn't a big deal because what we had should be sufficient and Michelle and I went to their live show around 1am that night to shoot some more footage. The boys were there (still looking spiffy in their office attire!) lighting was dim, but we are hoping that won't be a problem. Thanks group members for all of the work you put in! I think it will pay off.
