The end of October saw us shoot a music video for Melbourne based Ska Reggae Band STRADA9.
Peter Valentino of Leader Presents contacted me at the beginning of October with his own concept to shoot a music video for Strada9 that covered a christmas carol they recently recorded for an upcoming EP. Peter had the concept/storyline in place all we had to do was work with this and bring it altogether!
The song was 'O Come All Ye Faithful' the Ska version. Up until meeting them I had never heard of Ska music, maybe in the back of my head in passing I kind of knew it but I soon found out what it was all about when shooting this music video.
We had a great time shooting this music video as it was a load of fun! The band were a hoot. Thanks to Julie for providing her directing talents as always, could not do it all without you! Matt Poidevin for coming a board as gaffer and B cam operator on the music video shoot, great work as always. Also to Robyn Stanislavski for choreographing the music video and providing valuable input and direction.
To the band, crew and make-up artists thank you for all your hard work!! What a dynamic and fun band!
