We are only a day away from the music video shoot this weekend.  I'm working to get things set up to do a video blog throughout the shoot on Friday and Saturday.  I'll update as often as I can.  Check out the video player here for the latest post!

This week has been hectic, and looks like things are going to continue that way for a while.  I was in New Orleans for part of the week, and had the opportunity to make a guest appearance on the Artists House weekly live chat to talk about Music Business strategies.  Check out the video!  I had a great time, and really appreciate the opportunity to throw in my two cents about various things in music business.  Follow them on Twitter too - they post a ton of great stuff. 

We are now less than one week away from the start of our next video shoot, and getting down to the wire!  One of the tough things about just getting things rolling is the struggle to use the resources we have to produce a great video.  This is a struggle  that a lot of independent artists have, and it takes some time to figure out how to effectively use the resources that you have.  You just have to learn to work with the things that you have.  There is no doubt in my mind that we will be able to pull the shoot off, and have an amazing finished product.  But this next week is going to be stressful, to say the least. 

I'll try to update this again before the shoot, so stay tuned for last minute updates.  In a couple weeks or so, you'll start to see footage from the shoot here, including behind the scenes action. 

Things are about to get crazy!  We have finished auditions for the upcoming music video we are doing in conjunction with Silver Halide Pictures.  Roles have been filled, the production crew has come together, and now the real fun begins. 

It seems like there are a million things that need to happen in the next two weeks in order to pull this off, but we always make it happen.  The shoot has developed into a bigger production than we had initially planned, but the end product is going to be amazing. 

In addition to the upcoming video shoot, we are in full swing prepping for SXSW.  We are trying to finalize some meetings, and get our full plan in place before then.  We're really looking forward to getting back to SXSW and checking out some great music.

On a side note, you can catch me this coming Wednesday making a "guest appearance" on the Artists House live chat at 7pm ET.  Check out the Artists House Chat! Artists House is a group of people that work in the music business putting a lot of great info out right now - different view points, news, etc. 

Check back for updates on everything we have coming up, and thanks for stopping by.

We have just launched our new porchlightmusic.com site, as you can tell.  Exciting times here, as we are in the preparation stages for an upcoming video shoot with Silver Halide Pictures for artist Tage Plantell.  The video will be shot in Boulder, CO on the University of Colorado campus.  So far, the preparation has been fun and interesting.  We are working with several students from the CU Film and Theatre departments, offering them a chance to be part of the shoot.  They have been great so far, and things are coming together nicely for the shoot. 

It will be a weekend filled with no sleep, but always fun times.  For this shoot, we will be shooting some behind the scenes footage to capture all of the crazy (and usually quite funny) stuff that is happening when the real camera isn't rolling.  Should be a lot of fun to see - check here for updates on that. 

The video is going to be filmed in an old theatre, then head out to the streets.  It's even going to have a death scene (yes, we have a professional stunt coordinator!), so that should be fun. 

We have a couple more auditions for the lead female role, and then we'll be making our selection and moving forward.  The next couple weeks are going to get hectic, but check back here for updates!  We will also be adding photos and other content to this site as the coming weeks progress.
