Well, life is back to semi-normal here at the monster shack. Tim has finally been able to get back to finalizing edits on a couple music videos. Most notably, we are close to final on the Vienna Teng video for "Gravity." Every time I see those images on the editing screen I am awestruck by the cinematography Steven Dempsey (Disjecta) achieved. It all seems almost dream-like and a little crazy to be up on Whidbey Island, Washington in the winter dragging a behemoth of a piano to the ocean shore expecting the weather to hold. Any number of small outcomes would have doomed that whole shoot, but somehow the chain of events held together. I don't know that I'd ever roll those dice again, but it certainly was a gamble that paid off for us.

Beautiful shots. Did I miss something? Is "gravity" available for download somewhere?

Mike,
Gravity is one of Vienna Teng's most popular songs from her first album. You can download it from her site here:
http://audio.viennateng.com/waking/viennateng-gravity.mp3
Although she has an international following and has made appearances on Letterman, NPR and other broadcasts, Vienna has never made a music video. We knew that Vienna had long wanted to do a video for "Gravity" so we shot some spec footage, pitched the concept to her label and got the project. We shot up in Oregon and Washington State and are finally close to finishing the final edit. If the video is received well we hope to be hired to shoot another one for her upcoming album (which I can tell you is going to be amazing based on the pieces she performed for us one evening during the shoot on Whidbey Island).
Thanks for asking. Vienna is quite simply one of the most talented and genuinely personable people I've ever met.

Hmm , I can't get to the link here at work. I'll have to check it out at home. I'll have to spread the word on her. I'm sure tons of my friends would love a new sound to listen to.

Not sure why that link stopped working. However, if you want to hear "Gravity" just go to her website: www.viennateng.com and click the tab "Listen" where you'll find "Gravity" under the "Waking Hour" album.

EDIT: Just listened to Gravity, it is excellent. I had never heard of her before, but trust me I won't forget now. Best of luck on the music video shoots!

Thank you Rogan, for those kind wordsI agree Rogan. Thanks for that candid endorsement.I want to take a moment to urge everyone to put NO AIR at the top of your viewing list. If you have time to see only one film, please make it NO AIR.
Here ya go! I'll have a beer on this one :beer:

Looks like the films will debut today guys. Unfortunately, I have to be up in San Francisco on a project so I'll have to pull down films on my own tonight with Bullis.
Best of luck to everyone. Let's hope these marvelous German filmmakers can live up to the hype they have generated. Frankly, expectations are so high that I'm a little bit worried, but Simon, Frank and Susanne seem to know what they are doing as they have relentlessly promoted their films. Let the viewing begin!
