We filmed at Jacks today, we got there at 6pm with everything being set up by 7pm we began. We were told they had to finish up at 8pm or around then so we needed, almost, to rush.
They had a new guitar player to our surprise, and the guitarist had brought his younger brother who wanted to do some promo shots of the band. So this room being fairly small had 5 members of the band, a photographer, and Charlie and I filming. Overall 8 of us in this tiny room.
Chris helped bring the equipment over, and then later went before we began filming.
With 2 lights in the room too, they were awfully hot and we had to really pay attention to health and safety as we wanted to be moving them around. There were plenty of wires dragged around the floor. Being a band that jumps around and moves about, most definitely fast paced, we had to be wary of them tripping over, breaking themselves, or equipment.
We decided that getting the new guitarist in wasn't too important as he hasn't been mentioned anywhere else, although we still we be putting him in the video, yet there won't be any information about him, and the past promo shots have been without him, the professionally ones.
We got all the footage we needed to edit, and it turns out we'll take about 5 shots from those two 25 minute videos because they didn't have time to sync the physical playing to the actual song, we so had to do this at a later date. The shots were good but rare, and we got the odd one which we thought would really help symbolise the genre.
We now have a plan for our next filming date in which we have too place the band ourselves, in a particular position so we can easily film them, and get particular shots of them without being too messy, and altogether we'll get twelve sturdy shots of the band.
