Rain, Rain, Go Away..

Well we have some updating to do, I guess. :)

First of all, I hope you know that if you have sent me well wishes on myspace, facebook, blogger, etc. for the Keith video, please know how appreciative I am of you. I took your good vibes with me to the shoot and held on for dear life! As much as I would love to give you a juicy story about Keith and our lovely conversation or an amazing day working, I can't do that. Because, well, it would be a lie. :) See, yesterday's shoot was full of... rain. Tons of rain.. and then some more rain.

After arriving on the set at 7am (after driving an hour to the location), I found myself sitting in a trailor, rain pounding the roof. The rain pounded the roof for TWELVE HOURS. So, to make an extremely long story short, I will just tell you that it was a bit of a more stressful day than planned. Keith had to catch a flight, so he shot quickly (about 3 hours) and went home. My story line had to be changed, because of the rain and because of the sun setting at 4 in the afternoon. To be honest, when you see the video, you may not even be able to tell it's me. Because of the dark, we did the shots against a backlight, so a nice silhoutte will be just about all I'll be. :) I DID sit in Keith's car that was given to him as a gift from his wife, Nicole, and played with his garage door opener a bit while waiting for the "rolling....action!" to begin. :) It was a very beautiful car (an old, gorgeous black mustang) and I feel like the few shots we did will be nice. :)

I must say, I am definitely looking forward to doing my OWN music videos, where I have creative freedom and maybe more of a say so when it comes down to 12 hour video shoots and kissing random strangers. :) I am an extremely lucky girl, however, and I definitely realize it!! :) It was still such a great opportunity! Trey Fanjoy directed the video, and she really is such a gem. I felt very lucky to work with such a huge talent. She must be one of the most sought-out directors in country music videos today. It was really and honor. I am also extremely lucky to have had my lovely boyfriend cheer me up and get my energy going when I was tired, and drive out of his way to sit with me and buy my lunch and make me laugh. He did the same during Hollywood week back during AI last year. Drove 6 hours to LA to be by me, take me to a movie, get me back to being "me". He really is my greatest support system. :)

The video will be awesome, I am sure. The other actors I met during the audition that were cast for the other lead character roles were so talented. I am excited to see it all put together!

Thanks for keeping up with me! The new EP is coming and I can hardly stand it.
