"Give Up the Ghost" Music Video Shoot

Behind-the-scenes from Delaney Gibson's video shoot for "Give Up the Ghost", shot in late September. 

Shoot location was in downtown LA, and (thankfully) indoors in a nice air-conditioned studio loft.



The shoot began Saturday morning. Here are some stills from what we covered that day: dusty piano scene, bedroom, silhouette, and some green screen.

Some intense key banging kicking up dust.

Due to the intended fx, the crew gathered some professional tools of the trade to protect Delaney from inhaling dust ;D

Stylin'!



Moving on to the silhouette scene, and the timing was absolutely perfect. The natural light pouring in to the loft was absolutely stunning.

Wrapped up Saturday with some green screen.






Sunday. Bedroom scene a-go! I was blown away by the dedication of the video crew. They were hammering away at creating this boarded backdrop for the scene. Bed and bedroom furniture were added and before I knew it, they had a scene built.

... from this...
... to THIS 'bedroom' filled with heartbreak and angst.

 


On to the last scene: bathtub. Once again, the crew put together the environment like no big deal.

Delaney's mom Christine Gibson (L) being the super awesome and supportive mom that she is! She was by Delaney's side morning, noon, and night, ready to help. She is one great lady.




Um, there were one too many bodies that soaked in this tub.

That's a wrap! What a fun gig. Give Up the Ghost single + video are scheduled to be released this week. Here's the info:
