New Website and Video!

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010 | Uncategorized | 4 Comments

It’s long overdue, but the time has finally come to unveil not only MY NEW WEBSITE, but ALSO the video for “Elephants” that I promised so long ago!

Big thanks to director Ryan Stober and visual effects guru Robert Morris for bringing this masterpiece to life for my massive budget of $0.  Pretty impressive if I do say so myself…

IN RELATED NEWS: If you haven’t heard or downloaded my new album “Love Is Here To Stay,” you’re in the right place.  You can buy the digital version right here from this handy little player for $4.99….or listen to the whole thing for free.  The album consists of completely remixed, remastered, and re-recorded songs originally part of the ABCs series (RIP), and a few new ones.  I hope you enjoy it!

Physical copies are limited and currently only available at shows, so I suggest coming to Brooklyn Bowl on June 29th or Rockwood (Stage 2) on  July 6th.

I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus….or trampled by an Elephant.  Yes, I shot my first ever music video this weekend (for the song Elephants) working with an extremely talented and professional crew….the likes of whom work on shows like Ugly Betty and Fringe to name a few….yes, these guys are the real deal.   We shot for 22 straight hours yesterday…40 of 48 hours in total for the weekend.

I never thought doing nothing could be so tiring, but it is.  It’s amazing how much time and effort and detail goes into shooting the smallest shot….getting the perfect angles, setting up the perfect lighting, making sure the right lens or frame rate is being used….not to mention, it was all shot on green screen, which makes things even more complicated.   For me, it was a lot of hurry up and wait….standing there or sitting or walking through shots….I’m telling you, I had the easiest job on set, and it was mentally and physically draining.

I must give a big thanks to Mr. Ryan Stober for having the vision to undertake such a daring project.  The footage will soon be in the hands of another crazy talent, Robert Morris, who will create a digital world around it all.  I can’t wait to see what they come up with, and I can’t wait for you to see it too!

I’ll try to post some more pics soon…till then, I’ll be resting.  I’ve got a big couple of weeks ahead…recording the next single with Michael Leonhart and the big ABCs, Volume 4 release at Mercury Lounge on the 30th.  Also, just learned of some more exciting news that I can’t wait to share with you……coming soon!
