Behind the Scenes with the Big Chill!

With time much deserved off for the holiday vacation, I've turned my attention to my side hobby of film. Part of the film school application process is to create a portfolio with projects that I have worked on!  At the moment I have 1 project. Citizen Schools Summer Institute Video  But I just begin work on a video/documentary for a Music group here in North Carolina called the Big Chill! They are a Alternative Hip Hop group in the Raleigh/Durham area.  Last night was my first filming take with the group! About 4 to 5 hours in the studio as the group work on tracks on their Sophomore album currently titled TMZ... which is named after a celebrity gossip website that talks about all the dumb trouble celebs get into. Each track is currently named after a celeb that has had a sudden misfortune (i.e. Wesley Snipes.... though one track  is name Columbus Short... which is funny but I don't know if he's had any trouble. Anyhow....

Following this first filming day... I spent today loading footage on to my hard drive and actually looking at the footage I had gotten.. This project is kind of organic and is forming as I go, I plan to go next week for another session with the group! 

But for all you On the Move followers here are some goodies for you:
