what's up music entrepreneurs my name is crack lack welcome back to Cracka Lack tv today's video
we're down here in knoxville tennessee drove down from lansing michigan is about a nine-hour
drive over the next three days i'm linking up with katie noel i'm shooting three music videos
now the pressure is a little bit higher because last time i had two days to shoot one music video
this time i only have two and a half days to shoot three music videos let me know in the comments if
you think we can pull it off drop them comments if you're new to the channel i used to be a music
artist myself and i put out about 16 albums over a span of like eight years i learned how to do
all of the behind the scenes stuff that artists need like i was making my own beats recording
mixing mastering my own songs doing my own music videos i decided music wasn't for me
and since then for over 12 years i made a full-time living doing all of those behind
the scenes things being a music entrepreneur so that's what i practice and preach on this channel
right here so if any of that interests you hit the subscribe in the bell to be notified you don't
miss any more good ass content just like this right here welcome to the video this is the airbnb
necessity number one when doing creative things caffeine man that's good quick update
crack almost got attacked by a mountain lion jesus my balls are up here right now
what the puppy man shout out to katie she really came through she ended up
running out this place called big slate media in Knoxville, tennessee
when it comes to shooting music videos as a videographer a director
knowing that you're going to be the one editing the video i have to see
it in my head before i can turn my camera on and start filming
obviously you always have pretty much a general outline or understanding
of what's going to happen with the music video ahead of time but once i got there i
sat down with katie and i took all of her ideas and i put them in order from start
to finish and how to actually make sense with all three music videos reality is yeah you're
maybe at the end of the video that's when you run tired yeah so it's like five oh that's cool yeah
you can't laugh katie walk next to her yeah that's good
gang
they're two in the airbnb start the day off making
a beat something's missing hold on i can lag on the truck there we go
got this in one of those uh 25 machines at the mall the other day i'm just kidding
hey man facts doesn't matter let me know in the comments what you think of the b
one through ten don't say one or some haters like that
so day two we ended up going back to big slate media and we filmed scenes for a little poppy
see me calling featuring katie noel and also katie noel pillow fight and then you have another outfit
for tomorrow solo performance scenes with some cool lights maybe for years i'll do like green and
red and for katie's i do like blue and orange or something like just two different sets of colors
now with using the same location for scenes in all three music videos how do you make it look
different obviously katie changed her clothes but we also use different colored lights
and gels on the lights to give each scene for each video a different look inhabit we used all red we
also used some scenes where there was some blue and with carlin we used some red and green for
a little poppy's part and then some orange and purple for katie's part pack a lag on the truck
katie had this idea to use these glow sticks and she had a whole bunch of
them hundreds of them and cut them open and do the glow-in-the-dark liquid all over the place
and we ended up using that for a scene in the pillow fight video there was no
colored lights we just turned off all the lights and just had one spotlight above her
and that ended up being one of my favorite scenes in that music video
oh you know the vibes with the brows playing with ladders
we went to the gym that katie and autumn actually work out at if i lived in Knoxville,
tennessee i would definitely have a membership there super nice gym we had the gym all to
ourselves for about an hour and a half and that's why i filmed all of the workout scenes
i'm a big fan of using speed ramps and music videos as long as it fits the vibe and doesn't
throw it off and a lot of the speed ramps that i used in the pillow fight music video
were scenes from all the workout clips here at the gym three two one we're gonna go real slow
yep poke your head out yeah we got a new track looking through the dumbbell
this is our katie's idea i'll show you guys what it looks like pack a lag on the truck
day three we finished filming "Callin" the music video treatment was written by pimpton and the
theme was like a cat and dog chase type scene so in the beginning you see the male model and
he's calling the girl she's not answering she's having fun she's having a blast with her friends
and then he puts his phone down he goes for a walk and then later it shows the girl model
and when she checks her phone to see that she has these missed calls from him she calls him
back and that he doesn't answer because he left his phone and then at the very end of the video
everything's all good again and they meet up they see each other they give each other a big hug
day three all the filming was done in pigeon forge tennessee look at this truck those are
the girls that sing the song that you like hi how are you hi you should be here filming a
music video with us katie took us to a boot store and they were cool they let us be in there with
the cameras this was for the shopping season but the girls just having a good time and i'm almost
positive that katie ended up buying a pair of boots for the girl model so that was very nice
for her went from uh acting like the shopping to really shopping get you some boots one day
oh that's fantastic then the next scene we went to an arcade we went to a few different arcades
first and they didn't allow filming or you had to wear a mask and that would throw off
the vibe with the music video we ended up finding a arcade that had a golf cart track we utilized
the arcade to show the girls having more fun they were playing games and then we used the
golf cart track area to do a second performance scene with katie in little
poppy
for the last scene in location katie and autumn had a hotel room that we utilized
in the room there was a jacuzzi and we used some powdered milk in the water so that way
it wasn't like see-through and also a ton of glitter yeah i need to like just pop the top
to light the scene we had a pink light on one side of the bath and a teal light on the other side
next we did all of the intimate lingerie bedroom bed scenes which
i'm sure got a lot of people to click on the videos too
for the scene where autumn walks up to the bed and she has a robin and
she drops it we took inspiration from one of rotimi's music videos
habit is a wrap with this cookie bite now i feel bad for the housekeeping that had
to clean up the room oh my god this is so great like katie definitely did not
get her deposit back but it was worth it for the video for the glow-in-the-dark
pillow bed scene again it was hundreds of glow sticks and we just threw them all over the room
all over the bed and also she had a couple cotton pillows that we cut open and poured everywhere and
they had a pillow fight and the cotton was all over and one of my favorite scenes of the video
was when katie took some of the glow-in-the-dark liquid and she had put it on her cheeks like a
football player that turned out really good when i edited the video i ended up putting uh effect
on all of the glow-in-the-dark scenes and it gave it almost like a hologram type of filtered look
but i i really liked it it was my first time ever using it and i'm really happy with how it came out
all right you guys that's pretty much the breakdown of all three music videos i'm
gonna put links to all three music videos in the description make sure you go check
them out and leave a comment let me know that you came from here shout out to katie
noel i appreciate you guys watching i'll see you guys next video Cracka Lack tv we out.
