Red Epic Dragon - Music Video

[Craig Charlton]

Hey everyone this is a fantastic day for me. My latest music video I directed and half shot had a big enough budget and push so I could for the first time ever use a red. This was my first ever time with a red in my hands and first time I had ever used the canon CN and zeiss Otus lenses. While this scared me a tad as it was an important shoot and I had never even touched one, it turned out to be one of my best videos Iv made. While I wait for my red scarlet w to be allocated. This was the single best experience Iv had while Iv been waiting and I cannot simply wait to have my own red.

Hey Zeb, thanks for giving the video a watch. This music video was actually shot just before the orlando tragedy happened. The artist who is heavily involved with the gay community and will be headlining the Munich Pride festival in July. This video sits very close with him.

Looks like Miami in the background at times. On Direction . . . I would have done a silly RomCom style interaction showing just how normal relationships are regardless of orientation

Yeah it does give of a tropical vibe, we shot the video in Sydney. We tried to go for high rise urban style shoot with a young 21st century teen style story, while showing the ups and downs of a relationship. Eventually ending in one deciding to follow their dream and head to the big city, while having to leave the other behind which would allow them to do this.

Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city girl
Born and raised in south Detroit
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere

You want to be powerful voice in producing orientation related media . . . demonstrate normalcy
