That Gangsta Lean...

I got to see some more footage from 'Stealing A Man's Grill' music video last night and I can't wait to share this fun video very soon!  Since I posted a behind the scenes photo in my last blog I thought I'd post another picture from after filming; with a little more clothes than will be involved in the final cut of the video but total attitude and sass you can surely expect once you see the finished product!

With Brad Coder, Director and Singer of 'Stealing a Man's Grill' after my scene!

In addition to the music video news, last week's Karaoke night was a fun one with performances by a bunch of my friends trying out some Michael Jackson for the first time!  I've never sang any Michael so I went all out and did 'The Way You Make Me Feel' and it was a blast!  For some reason, it brought out a very fun and different side to me, made me want to dance, having everyone get into the music and it was well received :)  Since that was my new song of the night, before the craziness began I opened with 'All I Wanna Do' by Heart which was followed by Counting Crow's 'Mr. Jones' since I'm still updating the History folder.  Next up it was 'Invincible' by Pat Benatar and I closed out the night with some country doing 'That Don't Impress Me Much' by Shania Twain.  Those nights with a big crowd of friends trying out new music are the best!

Stealing a Man's Grill

It's Music Video time!  It's been years since I worked on a music video but when my friend, Brad, asked me to be in his music video and told me the concept, I couldn't resist!  I knew it would be a lot of fun and I was excited to work with my friends on this project!

 

Last week after I finished up a Bartending shift at The Garage I drove to Playa Del Rey to meet up with everyone and shoot our scenes.  I don't want to give too much away but basically Kevin and I steal Brad's grill and Brad searches all over to try to find it.  Hilarity shall ensue but Kevin and I's scene involved me jumping out of the truck, stealing the grill, and hopping into the truck bed as we speed off into the distance.  Needless to say, the next day I ended up with bruises all over my legs and I was super sore from getting tossed around but I wanted to go big and make it as real as possible, so I gave it my all!

 

One of my favorite things about our shoot was when Kevin and I were driving to our first marks and we were just doing some improv in the truck, talking about stealing the grill and our relationship.  When we finished for the day, we got to see all the scenes and our improv was actually super funny and totally in the moment.  Who knows where it will end up but I think we're both hoping to use it for our reels since it's ridiculous :)

Shooting 'Stealing a Man's Grill' Music Video

There's a few more scenes that need to be shot so it may be a couple weeks before the video comes out but I can't wait to share it with everyone!  For now, you'll just have to settle for our screen grab on a perfect sunny day!
