So tonight we premiered the Secretions new music video "That Kind of Girl" at the Sac Music Seen program as part of the Sac Film & Music Festival.
Not to sound too full of myself, but we f*%in' rocked the house.
At one point, I thought the sound mix was screwed up because the screaming that I mixed into the video was drowning out the music, until I realized that the screams I was hearing were coming from people in the Crest Theatre. An awesome feeling.
I'm still baffled as to why the Lanefilm Ltd logo always gets as big of a reaction as it does. Its pompous and funny, but yeah, people just go nuts for it...
I'd like to thank everybody that came out and showed their support.
Danny Secretion, Paul Filthy, and Mickie Rat
Without you guys, there'd be no video. Need I say more. The shoot was a blast, so was the screening. I can't wait to do this again sometime.
Adam Sartain
Thanks for making the trip down to the screening, and for helping lend your voice to the shoot. Always a pleasure seeing you.
Crystal Case
For being a good sport about being locked away in that sound booth for the whole shoot, helping to get the word out to the Secretins, and being an all around cool girl.
Nate Schemel
For going the extra mile to make sure my baby looked its finest up on the screen. You had me worried a little early on in the evening, but you came through amazingly.
Next people that I want to thank that for some reason or another couldn't be at the screening.
Jason Ring
For putting in a lot of effort into voice work that unfortunately ultimately ended up on the cutting room floor. Thanks again for the hard work, and I made sure you got your due credit in the end credits.
Leslie Goodman
For coming out and shooting the still photography that day and bringing a little extra fun to the set.
Steffie
For being a trooper, getting knocked around in that pit, take after take, and staying in character the whole time doing it.
Mike D.
For coming in on no notice with a battlefield promotion to be our stand in drummer. Much props, sir.
Ray Dussault
For coming out just to lend a hand and turning out to be a pretty awesome battlefield promoted A.D.
Brendan & Steve
For bringing out the gear in that miserable weather and having the patience to out up with my meticulous repetition.
Jason Knight
For taking a gamble and coming out to work with us for the first time. An absolutely awesome 2nd Unit camera, and an all around awesome guy. It was my pleasure to have you onboard.
Julianne Gabert
Last, but never least in my book. I've already typed out, deleted, and rewritten my thanks to you a dozen times. Each time I just picture you making a face and saying "Please delete that. I don't want people reading that." Anyway, you know how I feel. You're a constant inspiration. *
This last oddball inclusion is people that weren't necessarily involved with the video, but I just wanted to thank 'em anyway.
Matt Endert
I guess I could justify saying that he was a crowd member in the video. But its just easier to say that he's a cool guy and an up & coming filmmaker in training. You remind me of myself, not too long ago.
Bortz
What can I say? An awesome, stand up guy. The thanks may seem out of left field, but I felt shitty about not being able to make it out to the after party tonight, after you invited me, so I can at least thank you for the offer.
There's probably a lot more I should be saying. A lot more people I should be thanking. But I'm f$(ing exhausted. Its 2:30 am.
If I forgot to thank you, bitch at me tomorrow and I'll update it in my blog.
For now, since Danny said it was cool to unleash this beast to the public on myspace tonight, here is the video.
THE SECRETIONS
"That Kind of Girl"
Now in dvd quality HERE.
* I should also mention that she was Producer & 2nd Unit director, or I'm sure I'll hear about it later.
