Video Project Wrapping Up

That's always the problem when you don't write things as you go. But then when you are in the moment there isn't much time to write. We didn't have much downtime when we were in the studio.

We started by videoing the paintings that we wanted to use in the video with very little direction on exactly what I wanted. I figured I'd let art flow over me during this process. As Don did the taping, he started noticing my muse in the paintings--also known as faces...hidden in certain areas. It was great!

This really opened the mood up and allowed us to enjoy the moments as we talked about what we could do with certain pieces in the song. The following time was sitting in front of a video editor and monitor. Every note played and matched to the visuals we wanted where we wanted to compliment the composition. Special effects here and there. Render it, watch it, change it, watch it, change it again...well you get the picture.

We now have the final version I believe and as I sit here and review it, I'm really impressed with the product. I'm looking forward to the Release Party and watching everyone's faces as they view Escape! for the first time.

We'll post it to Youtube the following day, so keep an eye out for the URL and please forward it to your friends. I'm hoping this video makes it around the world--just for fun.

I named it Escape because between the music provided by Wayne Johnson and Solid Air Records accompanied by the beautiful visuals of my paintings almost makes you go on a mini vacation. It certainly is a refresh--relaxation enhancement peice. I hope you will enjoy it!
Off to the studio to get some more things painted.

Talk with you soon
