After attending a birthday bar crawl, I came home...
thisanimallove asked: Good luck this weekend! I have faith that you can do it! Also, I'd just like to say that I love every write up you've done about this music video. I'm trying to get into media production but I'm still in the baby stages of everything and trying to figure myself out as I go, so I find it extremely interesting to see how you're doing everything for this music video and I...

The Night Before...
I’ve been watching one shot videos for like, years. So much so that I have “Top 5” lists of music video types in different categories. Before making this video, I found a “one shot music video” list on Wikipedia and watched every single one of them.
I’ve studied hard enough that I know what it takes to make a good one…in theory.
And so this is my chance. ...

AL1 Camera & Lighting!
Getting ready with the Steady Cam!
The reason I love having Connie as a DP is because she’s so damn meticulous! Ask any other DP to work on your project and you might get a conversation, a couple emails, and then good work on the fly. Ask Connie to DP, and you get storyboards, charts, masterpiece illustrations, PHOTOBOARDS, camera tests, and her presence at every rehearsal.
Long, long...

Joon Chung - Assistant Director
Two nights ago, we met with Mr. Joon Chung, who signed on to be our AD for the shoot!
I met Joon at U of M (because everyone from U of M seems to be KILLIN’ it right now—our cast & crew are full of alum, so might as well keep the streak). Joon actually graduated from the Ross School of Business (super hard to get into, let alone graduate from), but oddly enough ended up joining...

Meet the Animal Love Dancers!
The Animal Love 1 music video shoot is coming up at the end of January! And because we love not sleeping, Connie, Taylor, and I decided to shoot this entire music video in a single take. That means no editing, and no room for mistakes.
I have a lot of favorite one take videos such as this one, and this one, and this one, and this one, and this one.
Now I’m excited/nervous to finally...
I'd go gay (for Tina Fey)
As many of you know, Liz Lemon/Tina Fey is my WOMAN. I’d go gay for Tina Fey. And SO I helped co-write a song with my fabulous musician sister about such.
Enjoy the compilation album which features songs of similar material by artists like Ingrid Michaelson, Bess Rogers, Greg Laswell, and MORE!

It’s a really great cause, so LISTEN! LISTEN!

Finally revamped the Paper Frame Productions Facebook page. PFP is the production company I started in college and still run today. I host all the music videos I produce under this baby. Check it out and if you like what you see, become a fan! (Full disclosure: Char totally wrote my bio).
Drew De Four Tour/ Music Video
Just got back from tour with Drew, Colleen, Tomek, Dave, Taylor and Theo!
We documented these guys all weekend on the road, in different bars throughout upstate NY— Taylor and I have never been on tour before, so it was so much fun getting out of the city for a little bit, AND getting paid to hang out with insanely talented musicians!
Stayed tuned for the music video coming...

Dancer Auditions!
Producing a video in NYC is completely new for us, but already the city seems pretty accommodating to our needs. We found a rehearsal space for super cheap and held our first round of auditions at the Triskelion Arts Center in Williamsburg.
After sorting through almost 100 head shots and resumes (thank you for applying!), we selected our auditionees and met them tonight.
We couldn’t...
