We've finally gotten it together to make a groovy video for you! In the capable hands of director Matt Manzano and cameraman Jason Shifflett (with serious help from John Bulfang), we spent two days shooting raw footage and green screen images for BOOK. In the gorgeous setting of Crozet on a sunlit Indian summer afternoon, I pranced, guitar in hand, before a glistening reservoir (which I have to say, was a bit weird...you'd think with being an actor for so long I'd be more comfy in front of a camera!) and wandered dreamily lip-syncing under the trees. I brought in band members Teswar Wood and Drex Weaver to do some air-playing in front of a green screen with me. We may not even use it all, but it sure was pretty to watch the sunset in our fabulous VA foliage. All told, the actual video will be less live action than computer and hand-drawn images. We had a really fun time doing it (basically goofing off to make myself less nervous, cracking inappropriate jokes and generally hamming it up) and hopefully, it will look like a story out of an old book! I can't wait to see how it goes in post-production and will show you all as soon as I get it! I plan on sending out limited edition, signed copies of the DVD to fans for Holiday gifts, so check back for details on how to get yours!
