Default My first music video!

Hi everyone, I excited to have just finished my first music video. As some of you may know my video work primarily involves wedding/events and occasionally commercial and corporate work.

At my own wedding this past February I ran into my cousin whom I haven’t seen in many years. Growing up I remember her always being involved with music with a particular affinity for piano. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that she’s now a Contemporary Christian artist who just published her first album- available on iTunes and CDbaby (re: Caitlin Jane).

After I got a chance to actually listen to her album I was blown away. It sounded great, and she is extremely talented! We touched base after the wedding and threw some ideas around and decided to produce a music video for one of her newer songs entitled “Unborn”.

The song tackles the issue of teen pregnancy and abortion in loving, non-aggressive way. I was thrilled to be starting such a cool project and, as a Christian myself, to be part of something sending such a poignant message.

Thank you all for taking the time to watch and would appreciate any comments whether it be about the video itself or the message.

Great camera work! I had to put the video on mute about 20 seconds into it though. Not my kind of music but I was really impressed with the quality of the video and the cinematography. great job!

That was beautiful man. Excellent job on the video work, and that song was powerful. She has a great voice.

Mind if I share this?

Hey...I don't own all those lenses. Thank God for LensRentals.com!

PS I would love to do a highly produced Crossfire video!

My thoughts exactly. Camera work and video quality were as good as she was.

Wow! I've been wanting to upgrade to that camera. I'm shooting with my "old" 1D but love it.

I did everything for the video except star in it. I produced, directed, shot, and edited it.

Yeah I used to have the 1DmkII. It was great for sports shooting! So fast it practically shot video!

Speaking of which- technology is wonderful. The video content coming out of this DSLR is better than that of my bonafide HDV video cameras!
