November 1st

We are beginning the second set of filming soon, these scenes will be filmed in the bedroom we have acquired to film in. The bedroom will be used as an 'anchor' for the entire music video, the video will be edited to go back to this location throughout the video. We will require a variety of props such as a record with a record player which is available to us on location as well as an old fashioned 60s phone for the actress to use to talk to her 'friend'.

We have asked a variety of locations for their assistance, unfortunately they have been annoyingly unhelpful. Most of them either want us to pay or are just not comfortable with us filming on the premises. Only one location has agreed to allow us to film there and has gone beyond what we have asked. This location is a bowling alley and they have agreed to having a section of the till allocated to our filming and have even given us a uniform for our actress to wear. The general costumes for our characters have been finalised and the actor and actresses are prepared for the day. The male outfit has been influenced by the movie 'Grease' heavily: Grease:

The animatic storyboard is complete and we have begun to compile a list of locations which can be used in the video. There are a variety of diners and restaurants which can be used for filming purposes, now it is just a matter of calling and asking for their help. Hopefully they will be cooperative.

We have finally began to create the animatic storyboard for the video, a process which takes some time to match the music with the story while keeping it as a video.

Our storyboard is beginning to take a much more structured shape, the majority of the scenes have been drawn and room for change has been left in the form of extra storyboards which can be used in place of otherwise impossible scenes. The process appears to be progressing efficiently.
