Electric Release and Cover Shoot

Well 'Electric' is officially coming out on April 27th so get ready and keep checking the VHP website and Project Sunday for more details on downloading it.
Here is also another random frame taken in the shoot for the promo picture attached to 'Electric'. This shoot was completely spontaneous, had been planning to spend the day in the studio and doing interviews for Project Sunday, then after a bit of work it was decided to go out and shoot to see if we could get something from it. So here it is!

Electric!

Hi from South America!

I just got the link to the music video for Electric so here it is! Hope you like it, was really fun to film and I can´t wait to do some more filming for other songs when I get home from overseas.

You can also watch the clip at http://www.vhprecords.com/ and keep looking there for more updates on the track.

Electric Video Preview Screening

On Saturday was the preview screening of the Electric music video! Those who were in the video, family, friends and a few industry people were invited to have a sneak peek and listen to some live music. There were a few technical dramas with the projector not working until the last minute but everything came together in the end.
The last couple of weeks has been a mad rush to write, record and finish all the songs I need to do before I head overseas so the launch seemed to come up VERY fast. We actually finished everything the morning of the launch!
Fahrenheit 45 were the support act before my set and they were great. After them I sang a couple of songs and then finally the video was played.
I will put it up here when it's released which should be soon!

Electric Music Video - Dancing and Close Ups

Well this is the last scene of the Electric music video! We were thinking of putting in another scene but the producer is going to see how the footage looks at the moment before shooting. It might be enough cause we have some great shots.
We were shooting in a laneway against the bright graffiti walls so had to lug everything out on location. We had a boom box, ipods, speakers, lights, cameras, tripods, monopods, reflectors, clothes, make-up, shoes, snacks...but we were missing one thing...the song.
I was supposed to burn the new copy onto a C.D in the morning but I burnt it onto a DVD which didn't play in CD players. I put it onto an ipod but it promptly died as soon as I got into the city. Unfortunately the backup CD wasn't in the player either...We had to scrounge around in internet cafes to try and find the song in our emails (which thankfully I had in mine) and then burned it. Lucky! Otherwise I would be very out of sync in that section of the clip...haha.
Other dramas were cancelled trains and no make-up artists because it was last minute and on a weekday but I had heaps of fun on this shoot anyway!We started with some close ups and then did some dancing scenes. During filming it was so funny because heaps of people came up to us asking what was happening. People even asked for photos with me and my autograph which was hilarious. Maybe they wanted to keep it just incase they can sell it on ebay one day? haha.You can see a few photos here and as always there'll be behind the scenes at www.projectsundaytv.com later on.

Electric Music Video - The Sleepover Scene

Part two of the music video for 'Electric' was filmed the week after. This scene was a girly sleepover and was so much fun (and much less cold).

We went into hair and make-up and all got big eyelashes and cute pigtails for the scene. Then we put on our pajamas and were ready to go!

The room set was a bedroom with lots of pillows and girly decorations (including our favourite plate of cookies which slowly dwindled during the scene. Oops.)
We attempted to practice the routine we had to learn then got to filming! It was fun jumping around on the bed and singing to the camera, plus the other girls (Sarcha and Petra) were great to work with. We did a few takes from different angles and then a few takes to the sped up version of the song (which will be sped down again for slow motion shots).

Then it was time for my favourite part... the pillow fight! The pillows were stuffed with feathers and went everywhere! We did get some in our mouths and eyes and the cookies turned a bit fluffy but I think it looked awesome and was heaps of fun!

There is also behind the scenes footage for this shoot, so again keep an eye on www.projectsundaytv.com to see it when it comes out.

Electric Music Video - The Beach Scene

I was so excited to film my first music video for the song 'Electric' on Wednesday! Heaps of organisation was involved and we were running around last minute trying finish off staff lists, permits and of course a get whole lot of Champagne...

The first drama was the weather. Filming on the beach is risky, especially when you only have a permit and all the staff for the one day. The day after our scheduled filming was going to be sunny and things were heating up to 30 degrees by the end of the week... Wednesday, however...was forecast to rain. Well we were very lucky that it was not wet but it was still freezing and there was a serious wind chill factor!!

We arrived at the prep venue and myself and all the models/dancers/extras went into hair, make-up and styling. The designer of Stiletto and Martini came down to dress up the extras and rows of make-up artists were waiting to transform us. It was a girls favourite playground (though the boys had to get their make-up done too..hehe).

Soon it was time to get down to the beach, so there was a last minute rush of curlers, bronzing, glittering and lip gloss then we headed out into the freezing wind to shoot.
We happily took over a cafe near the location to keep warm and get a quick brief on the day then it was jackets off and onto the sand to pretend it was a hot beach party haha.

We filmed lots of dancing shots, a huge Champagne popping scene where we got Champagne all over us and then the storyline of the clip. I had to run into the water with the male lead at the end which I was not looking forward to.. but the water was actually warmer than the wind!

Well even though by the end of the day I felt 'electrocuted' from shivering instead of 'electric' it was still a fun day, met some awesome people and hopefully got some great shots! There is heaps of behind the scenes footage for Project Sunday (projectsundaytv.com) so watch out for that to see more.

A HUGE shout out to all the extras in the beach scene, the wonderful make-up artists and stylists, Peter Duong the Photographer, the set manager and of course Kenny the producer.
