Continuing on my music video journey

MORE ABOUT HOW I MADE MY MUSIC VIDEO 


I started to gather all my equipment. My equipment included my car to get me to scenes, my  skateboard to film, a friend to film me on my skateboard,  my outfit: shorts, crocs,  hoodie, posters, and my I-phone to film.

I also checked my skateboard to make sure nothing was wrong with it.

One of the wheels had fallen off so I had to glue it back together just for the video shoot; hopefully it will 

I went to find my parking garage.  Most of the garages wanted money just to get in!   

After driving around for awhile,  I found one in downtown Fort Lauderdale.  It had four floors and it had a roof for parking that was surrounded by office buildings.  

I checked with the security guard at the parking garage to make sure it would be ok to film and they would be open.  He told me that if I came on a Sunday afternoon, when the offices were closed, it would be okay but only on the top floor.  That was fine with me, because the light was better and the buildings around the garage would make the atmosphere better and more interesting. I also went to another garage that was cost to maybe get another scene with a different background bit it had cars.

I started to figure out what time of day I wanted to go.  I knew it had to be sometime in the afternoon. I figured that 4:00 would be the right time. This time is usually when the sun just starts to set.



I was glad that it wasn't dark at this time so I could do my shoot there. I also traveled to some parks and found the perfect park with a lot of trees.

I called my friend to see if he could help me film it.  Luckily he was able to come out.

I also started to figure out how long each segment of my video would be.

This was sometimes hard because the lyrics had to match up with the motion.



We filmed a lot of the same stuff over and over to make sure we got the best shot.  Now it was time for editing!
