How Not To Get Arrested At Your Music Video Shoot

Last night Jason Lucas of Monsta Nash directed a music video shoot on location for the first single off the upcoming record. Part of the shoot was on private property owned by CSX. And I guess the guy in the control tower got really nervous about us hanging out by the bridge/trestle. So he was gonna call the cops on us. Fortunately for us, we got the shoot done just in time and hightailed it outta there…Any night you don’t get arrested is a good night…
It was overcast, wet & miserable. But it added to the ambience & vibe of the video. Made everything look moody. The raw footage looked awesome!
When we have something to show you we’ll give you a heads up. Many thanks to Jason, Alicia, Ross, Dane, Michael Lovett & Kara Madden for making it look so good. But the mother of all props goes to Rosie, our taxi driver, for putting up with all of us and regaling us with great stories about her profession. I swear the woman should put up a blog and tweet about her clientele…
