futurebrite

A while I ago I assisted a friend, Karen, on the creation of a music video for her band, Futurebrite. We filmed in one of the few towns in the Bay Area that allows fireworks (even sparklers are banned in most places, shocking to this girl from the South.) My job mainly consisted on lighting sparklers and trying to avoid littering. Nonetheless, it was fun to dabble in a new creative medium and seeing the finished project is very exciting.



If you are loving this video, you can vote for Futurebrite on The Deli music blog to be San Francisco Artist of the Month. Voting ends July 2.

Happy Fourth of July!

I have no flag cakes or adorable picnic spreads planned, instead plans consist of just showing up at friends backyards with drinks and store bought snacks. So today is the perfect day to share with you a recent "project" aka evening of fun times for my friend, the talented Karen Kanan Correa of The Future Brite.

The shoot consisted of a a slow-motion camera that captures 2,000 frames per second (typical video cameras capture 60) and some illegal-almost-everywhere-in-the-Bay-Area sparklers. Highly illicit stuff, yes, but we headed to the one town they are permitted and found some public land, though I forget the name of the park. I absolutely love sparklers and fireworks so am glad to have had an excuse to play with them before the Fourth.

The video is now "in production" but you can hear The Future Brite here. Happy Fourth of July!
