We were fortunate enough to have our friend, Chad Moore, shooting still photos during our recent music video shoot for "Chocolate Rock".  There were a ton of great photos!  I'm going to give you a brief look at some of them here.  This is just the first batch - we'll have more to post tomorrow!  If you're ever in need of a great photographer, give Chad a shout.  Enjoy the photos!

In our final Behind the Scenes episode from the "Chocolate Rock" music video set, we have set up camp at our final location.  This scene was shot in one of the oldest building on the University of Colorado campus - Old Main. 

We were fortunate to have several students from the CU Film School helping us out on the shoot.  They all did a terrific job, and kept a very positive attitude over the course of some long hours in cold temps.  Thanks guys!  We also were able to involve several students from the CU Theatre department, in various roles in the video.  They were all great to work with and truly enjoyable to have on set. 

Last but not least, we want to thank all of the key people that donated their time on this shoot - Bryan, Chad, Ashley, Stig, and Joe.  Stay tuned for still photos from the shoot, courtesy of Chad Moore. 

This video shows just a small portion of everything that was going on in this location.  Yes, I am on the phone every time you see me in this clip...I did switch phones at one point though!  Enjoy this last behind the scenes video, and stay tuned for the release of the "Chocolate Rock" music video!

Our fourth Behind the Scenes video from the "Chocolate Rock" music video shoot finds us in beautiful downtown Boulder, CO.  The music video will be released soon, but in the meantime, check out some of the off camera antics.

In our third installment of our Behind the Scenes posts from the video shoot, we have moved on to shooting day #2...on a whopping 1 1/2 hours of sleep!  As we mentioned in the previous posts, we are about to release the video for "Chocolate Rock", but wanted to show everyone what was happening when the camera wasn't rolling. 

Day 2 started with a shoot at a coffee shop, thank god! (Don't think for a second that I didn't plan it that way)  Joe's Espresso in Boulder was not only kind enough to allow us to shoot at their fine establishment, but they also hooked us all up with coffee for the whole weekend!  We definitely would not have made it through without that.  Thanks guys!!  Check out the early morning fun with our "french" DP...

Welcome to the second installment of our Behind the Scenes posts from the video shoot.  As we mentioned in the last post, we are about to release the video for "Chocolate Rock", but wanted to share some of the debauchery from the video shoot itself. 

In this behind the scenes clip, we are shooting in a cafe in downtown Denver.  Tage (from Silver Halide) and I used to work at this cafe, and want to thank them for allowing us to shoot there...well into the night/morning.  If you're ever in Denver - stop by Cafe Colore in Writers Square on the corner of 15th and Larimer - amazing Italian food!  We would also like to thank everyone for sticking around til the end - it was a very late night, and we appreciate you all sticking it out.  At this point of the shoot, we were running over 2 hours behind schedule, and ended up wrapping our first night's shoot at 4:45am.  So if I appear tired in this video, that's why...

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.
