Brad Paisley, Semiotician

We shot the bulk of the music video on Saturday, on the roof at 914 Mont Royal and across the street in Kassel's room at 927.  It went really well, a lot of friends came over to simulate a party (which subsequently turned into a real party) and severely flattened the octopus by dancing all over it.  Arthur showed me a few clips and it looks very good.  The night shots of the octopus being 'built' also turned out great, thanks to the exceptionally wide aperture of the lens he was using on the DSLR.  We're shooting the synchronized jumping shots this afternoon (weather permitting), and hopefully we'll have it ready for whenever we finally release the CD.
Here's a shot from the setup, with Kassel adjusting the drums, Ryan warming up, and Mott wandering aimlessly.  And there's the octopus!
Here's a bit later, some more people hanging out, preparing.  We jammed a little after we were done shooting, but got everything down just before the police showed up to stare confusedly up at the roof.
