The Airborne Toxic Event “Does This Mean You’re Moving On?” Live Acoustic released

It’s been crazy busy, I’ve only been back a few days from DC and haven’t posted any of the new releases of the acoustic series. You can check them out on the band’s myspace page if I fall behind.

“Moving On” was fun to shoot. Filmed in a Toyota Rav 4 on Sunset Blvd starting in Los Feliz through Silver Lake and ending in Echo Park. That is right, seven people in a Rav 4! I was sitting on the dash with my back crammed against the window and the rearview mirror digging into my neck. The band didn’t have much more room with five of them in the back. Only three mics, one taped to the seat for Noah, one taped to Steven’s leg and the one Mikel is holding. We shot five videos this day, “Does This Mean You’re Moving On?” was the last. What a crazy, long day.

The audio was recorded on a Sound Device 744T using a 302 mixer for the vocals. Video was shot on my Panasonic HVX200.

UPDATE:
You can now view this video in higher quality on my Vimeo Page.

Currently on YouTube the video is up to 130,000 views!

“Fill’er Up” heads to Washington DC for filming

We’ve landed.

I’ll be filming around DC over the next five days. I’ve been working over a month with Iris Ichishita to produce this segment of the doc. We have some great interviews planned. Iris is doing a great job. Should be some exciting stuff. I don’t want to post who we are interviewing and release our story line to the world, not yet at least.
