Video
Part of the ultimate goal here is to expand. To me, that means incorporating video at a more consistent clip. In my dreams I’m releasing music videos same day as the song, essentially weekly by the end of the year. Just in case you were wondering where my personal bar is. I went to film school, but I was a screenwriting major, and I’ve always considered the words easier than the sounds when it comes to music, and the music easier than the visual when it comes to storytelling. Nevertheless, I’m trying to build a world here.
We’ll see where we’re at in December, but tomorrow marks the start. We made a simple lyric video for “Where Do You Go” and I’m excited to share it with the world tomorrow. It’s not the original idea I had for the visual and it’s fairly simple in concept, but I’m proud of what it is. Again, we’re just getting the ball rolling here. There’s a long road ahead of us and everything is more learning experience. Hopefully by the end of this journey you’ll see a feature film by Beautiful Idiots LLC, the guys who brought you Roe’s Garden, The New Hippies, and a couple more things you’ll see this year. Like Understanding said yesterday, repetition is key. Consider this my first time picking something up and putting it down. There are things I want to get better at. Now I have to repeat, and improve.
I hope you enjoy the video if you choose to watch. Hit me on Instagram, tell me what you think about it! Give me your opinions, tell me what I can do better, tell me if you want to help! We can figure out how to grow this seed. I have to remind myself sometimes these are collaborative arts.
