I shared this with humlan behind the scenes and she told me I should share it here so I will.

Our son who just graduated from film school produced and was also the Director of Photography for a video that debuted on MTVU this week. Right now it's been the most viewed video of the week on their site. You can check it out at this link:

http://www.mtvu.com/

The band is There for Tomorrow. They are becoming hot in the US. I'm sure the link will eventually be old because it's on the their home page so you better check it now if you're interested. It will certainly be on other sites too, but for now, it's only there.

It's a little funky, but very cool. The lyrics are about these band members whose parents want them to go to college and they want to play music so he portrays them giving college a try, then they blow the scene and rock on.

As you can imagine, we're really happy for him. He had to sign a nine page contract to get the job while he was a student. He had 25 of his buddies from film school working with him. They filmed for two days at different locations which they had to secure. He had to purchase insurance for the shoot days and organize the entire production. They put all the money into the production so it would look great, so none of them made money. They did it for the experience.

I'm curious to hear your response.

Dotsie, this is great. The band is good too. So as Director of Photography, what exactly was his job? Did he supervise all aspects of the video, including set/lighting, and final editing?

As Director, he was in charge of the whole shoot from concept to final edit.

As DP he was in charge of how the whole thing was shot, what lenses to use, what filters, angles to shoot from, distance to shoot, when to zoom, lighting, the total look and feel with color, how to pan the camera, etc.

Thanks for watching. I appreciate your interest.

I know humlan could view it so there's hope for the rest of you gals outside the US.

Aaaack! I can't view it either, Dotsie. Nonetheless, I must congratulate your son. Having his work as "the most viewed" is indeed a very good platform to spring from . I say to Bregels Sons & Co, ROCK ON!!!
