Making the music video

The filming process was very successful. We spent several hours in the morning at the beach, using a digital camera and a tripod, and were able to get a number of clips. For several we improvised, and many were planned moves and actions to fit in with the song, for example the lyrics.
We were happy with the costumes and the conditions of the setting. Also the fact that the beach was so deserted was very good. Another advantage was that we met a friend on the beach who offered to be in the video, so we used him for a clip.

For the editing, we used a Macbook and the program 'iMovie'. We cut and moved around the clips until they synced the way we wanted with the background track. We decided to use a different version of the song (The 'Live Lounge' version) and are ultimately happy with our finished product. We intended for it to look friendly and with an amateur style as we are a 'new band' and think this works well.
