Open Your Eyes

This is the very first video clip that Your Favorite Enemies ever did… An official one, produced by one amazing team in Montreal…

Starting very early in the morning, around 4am, if I remember well, for the crew and other actors in the video clip, the band members were to join at around 8am. It was quite far away from where we lived, in a remote place not all that easy to find… lol! Anyway, nobody slept much the night before… Filming your very first video clip is quite something!!!!

But as they were all new to filming, let’s say that a few problems occurred… I mean, we did a lot of YFE-TV episodes and stuff like this, but we were all only amateurs, right?

It started with make-up, something nobody was used to, besides Miss Isabel, of course! I heard she really enjoyed it… and that Moose did, too! lol!

The video needed to use green screens for some of the scenes. It was our very first time filming with this. Very cool, very exciting, not a problem at all! Or so we thought… Miss Isabel, at the time, had some green streaks in her hair! But a few hair pins managed to hide them under her blonde hair, so that way they wouldn’t turn into the background that would replace the green screen. Second problem: Moose’s drums was all green! A bright, sparkling green… Well, you can guess that we needed to change it as well. You can guess it’s not as easy as hiding a few streaks of hair… They needed to go back home, and get another drum set. It’s a good thing, he didn’t only have this one! lol!

And around the end of the filming, when they were done with all of the shots with the actors and the band members, fans joined in… and we all took part in one of the scenes… 🙂 A moment of pure delight, for each and every one of us!!!

Here are a few pictures from that day… 🙂
