The Test Shoot

A selection of pictures from the shoot

Well... our test shoot on Sunday proved to be a bit of a... "glorious failure" - probably without the glory! Although our location was amazing, it's the only location we have, with no luck for the second - no one got back to us about places we found, and we don't even really have just an empty room we could do up. The problem even bigger than that is that we still don't have a band; with me doing vocals & Selina on guitar, that still leaves three members in demand (two at a push) for rhythm guitar, bass, and drums. Seeing as we planned the video to be predominantly (almost completely) performance-based, this is a MASSIVE problem. No one really confirmed that they would do it, and we need people who are reliable and want to be in it. Who'da thunk it would be so difficult?!

On the plus-side, we all agreed the makeup and costume were awesome. But we seriously needed to rethink.

To those ends, we kind of decided on a TRACK CHANGE!!

Selina & I had both been talking about a song called Eyes on Fire, by Blue Foundation, and thought it was pretty good video-making material; at the end of our shoot we played it to Bhavika & Mary, who also liked it. The song and our ideas for it mean we can work with what we actually have, rather than being a little over-ambitious, so we're going to come up with another treatment, re-pitch, and keep our fingers crossed!
