"Guilty By Association" Shoot

"Guilty By Association" is a song written by the artist Stefany Mayz. She is an up and coming independent artist and will definitely make it in the professional world. She came to us with a great idea for a music video for this song, and we started pre-productions right away.

We first had to aquire a location for the shoot. She wanted a place with a nice downtown feel to it with many storefronts and people. So we looked around and decided on Haddonfield NJ. We called the Boro Hall and secured the location via the police of the town.

She also wanted to shoot in some of the stores in the area so we went to the store's owners and secured those locations as well. It took a little coaxing on some of them but in the end we had no real trouble getting the stores she wanted.

Next we set the dates and found our actors. We did storyboards and went to the location a week before to plan out the shots and to make a shooting schedule. We got our shotlist together and made sure all the props were ready. We got the actors ready by telling them what their roles were and what we expected on the day of the shoot. When the date of the shoot rolled around, yesterday, we were totally prepared and ready to go.

Crew call was at 10am at the starbucks in the downtown area and everyone was on time. Once everyone was there we started shooting.

We kept on schedule through the whole day not having to change any order at all. We had many people approach us and ask us what we were doing and many more who just stared. We shot everything we needed by 5pm. When we finished everyone was congradulated on a great shoot and a fine job.

With the shoot done expect behind the scenes to be coming out soon. You will be able to see exactly what happen hour by hour of the entire shoot. Until its released check out some of our past music videos for Stefany Mayz at www.youtube.com/theleesproductions, you won't be disappointed.
