Although it doesn't show in the video, we were battling soggy ground, mud, and later lots of rain on the way home! This made walking somewhat treacherous for the girls, who were in heels....we had many clean up sessions in-between takes!
Making music videos is an adventure. This one was no different! With hours of travel time and many hours of filming, we had one long 16 hour work day!
Karen wasn't quite tall enough to get the shot I needed here, so we helped her out!
...relaxing when it's not their turn to be filmed...
Here, the guys are a safety net to make sure no one tumbles off the edge of the bridge during a song take!
Just (carefully) having some fun!
...getting set up at the English Garden... It's a race against time! Once the sun moves enough, the lighting will turn ugly and we'll have to move on to a different shot.
Waiting to start playing once again... By the end of the day, you have played the song so many times that your fingers begin to rebel!
Dad had to stick his end pin into a piece of wood to keep it from sinking into the soft earth.
...what a cute, young praying mantis - how nice of him to pay us a visit!
Dad had a marvelous idea to end our long day... go to Culver's! Both the food and the frozen yogurt were especially delicious due to the fact that we were so worn out and hungry!
