Back in May I got to join the band Community Center in building and populating a bohemian vagrant camp in the woods while they shot their latest music video- now YOU TOO can know a smidgen of how much fun that was.
ALSO I've been playing their latest album on loop for weeks and you all should give it a listen.
Hey, there you are at 3:26! Damn, you look happier than a possum eating a sweet potato ;) Did the cameraperson have anyone guiding him around? She/he did really nice work, though hand-held shooting widescreen is fucking hard, and it didn't always succeed here. But it's one take... or was there more than one? Or was this is it, and the pre-staging went along swimmingly, as did the execution?
We tried to do it in one take, running the same series of actions over and over for hours until we had to stop because the horses were getting cold- I imagine none of them worked perfectly and that he had to subtly splice them together but I'm not sure. And yeah, there was a crew of camera folks.
Horse blankets can only go so far... a crew, more than one take? Thanks for letting me know, it's one of the last technical things I've done as a career (video producer/director/operator/editor). It was really nice to see you smile in the music video, how's your day-to-day life been, staying out of trouble?
ohh so it's the name of it okay lol, i was thinking legit community center where they were holding an event for people who live around the area xP
Nope! It's a band name, yeah. Sorry that's confusing.
Congrats on the daily 3rd! It's nice no one got anal (in the reviews) and said this wasn't animation, when in fact, it pre-dates animation :)

oh shit lol, this is badass! is this something the community center does usually? this looks actually really cool, i never do things like this just so you know but this looked super appealing to me for some reason
