Entourage Wedding Band

Montage Video

 

Videoed just before Christmas in Rathsallagh House Hotel, this video was put together to showcase the range of music and talent of this superb Irish wedding band.

 

Almost 50 emails were exchanged between Jenny Foster, singer and organiser extraordinare of Entourage, and ourselves prior to the shoot. Every aspect of the video - concept, location, staging, casting, costume and script - was discussed in detail before a single frame was shot.

 

Huge credit to the band for their endless patience, and to dancers and actors Nicole Kidd and Jason Hannon for their dedication and talent.

Planet Dude

Performance montage

 

Sadly, now long disbanded, this video for the wonderful Planet Dude was put together at a time long before High Definition. It's included here because I think the grainy look lends a certain bohemian authenticity to the result and because I like the band.

 

I recorded the audio one Sunday afternoon in a veterinary supply shop, while the video was shot in a local hall using four par56 cans as lighting which we kept moving around to make it look like more!

 

The bass player was m.i.a. on the day of the shoot so someone's girlfriend stood in for him. I think she was a much better choice.
