26 Jun 24-Hr Music Video Production – Half Set

My video career mostly consists of filming weddings but sometimes I get very interesting and spontaneous assignments. In February of this year I got a call from my buddy Vadim who asked me to film a video production (music video) for him and his band called Half Set. The tricky situation was that it had to be filmed and edited within a couple of days. Coca Cola was having a competition for a theme song and Vadim wrote a song to submit into the competition but they required a video so he turned to me for help. I obviously love spontaneous challenges so I accepted the job with no hesitation (even though it sounded unrealistic at the time). I usually film with our team but none of the other guys could help me those days because we had other projects going on so I had a big task ahead of me that I had to do solo… I was supposed to film, edit and produce a music video in two days all by myself !! (and day one started when we were talking about it). People who know me well know that I would never say no to a challenge like that. My adrenaline started pumping!! On Sunday, February 26th, 2012 at 2 pm I grabbed all my equipment, we drove to downtown Sacramento, found a nice spot, and started filming… I then stayed up all night to edit the video and had this video ready at around 10 a.m. Monday morning…

This video was made for the Coca Cola theme song competition so that is why it contains the 5 notes of the Coca Cola song at the end and the Coke can at the end…
