Here is a sneak peak of all the action behind the scenes of filming my music video, Revolution.
Listen to the song here:
The Ride was released on Black Friday, Nov. 29th 2013. You can purchase the album @ www.katieanntheride.com
Before I show you how my music video was created I want to share with you where this song came from when I first wrote it.
Hands down, Revolution is my favorite song on my album. This song means so much to me. When I was asked to create a music video by my director, Matt Quinn, I knew right away which song to use. Revolution is about breaking free from
confinement. Whatever your confinement may be. Start a revolution, speak up for yourself and what you believe. We need
to hear this. We live in a time where people are afraid to speak their opinions and beliefs. We're in a recession or a
depression. What ever they want to call it. The world is struggling. I look at old pictures and pieces of our history and I think to myself- wow- we don't stand a chance fighting for our rights like they have in the past. Racial justice and equality,
women's rights, the right to vote, war, Vietnam. People stood on the foot steps of the White house and not only screamed at the top of their lungs for their rights but they were willing to
die for it. These days, aside from brave Militaries, the only people dying for what they believe in are terrorists. Then their face is
glamorized on the front page of Rolling Stone magazine. That's pretty sad. We need our neighbors, friends, co-workers
speaking up for what we believe in! Is everything just peachy? Hell no! We know it's not.
We're blind to not see it and we're numb to not feel it. Of course the Government wants to legalize marijuana. Then we can all be zombied out not giving a flying rats @ss about our future generations. I will not stand for this being what our
generation is all about. I want to see our people fight for what is righteous and leave the world a better place than how we
found it.
Remember how fortunate we truly are that our Grandparents put their lives on the line to fight for our freedoms that we have today. Let's not forget where we came from, what got us here and what we need to do to
take our children to a better place. This is a land of glory. We should be taking that positivity and
influencing the world to make it a better place.
We can all relate to this song in a unique different way. We all have something to fight for. Don't be a zombie, stand up for what you believe in.
Going on vacation? Nope, just shooting a music video. I'm taking all of this stuff out to my car at 4:30am. I can only
imagine what the neighbors we're thinking as I'm throwing a giant vintage suit case (nick named Big Red), a shovel, other mysterious objects that are not normal, into the trunk.
The first day of shooting began with a 3:15am wake up call.
Heather Bellini (heatherbelliniphotography.com) and I headed to the forest of Ellicottville in upstate New York.
HOLY FOG. I was hoping for a foggy shoot but this was insanity. I had to slow down driving on the highway because I
couldn't see five feet in front of me. Whatever. We made it there and got some amazing shots.
The second day of shooting I met with the Director of my music video, Matt Quinn. I was very blessed to get to shoot with a "Red." This camera took some crazy cool shots. I can't wait to show you!
It was a ton of fun creating this music video. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible!
Here's the music video!
