Production Wrapped: Christian Stone - Sunset Junction Sep 17

Music Video Still from Christian Stone - Sunset Junction
Director: Kevin Maistros

Production Notes:
Shot entirely in one take, without cutting. Song was played back at two and a half times the speed in reverse to achieve a backwards, slow motion effect. Christian Stone had not practiced this song in reverse and had only heard it for the first time at twice the speed in reverse the morning of the shoot. A small note for trivia is that Christian Stone is also the guitarist for the band, "Puddle of Mudd", but writes and records his own music which can be found at http://www.myspace.com/christiandavidstone. The boy in the video is Christian's son, Gabe.

Credits:
Kevin Maistros - Conceptual Development, Production, Direction of Photography, Editor
Marieke Hogan - Art Direction
Matt Yang - 1st Assistant Director, 1st Assistant Camera, Assistant Editor

The actual video will be posted later today.
