Some of you might remember about 9 months ago we started talking about a music video we were going to try to do. We said "try" because we have no previous experience making a music video, but we thought we had a good enough idea. At the time, The Watermarks were Jason, Nick and myself . One day we locked ourselves up in our practice space and with the help from our friend Matt Warren using my shitty video camera we did multiple takes. All we had for lights was some weird red light that Nick brought (yes, we know, we know, red light shouldn't be used for video recording, but we didn't know back then). Then I started the difficult task of putting everything together. But not too long after we got distracted with shows and the addition of two new members, Jessica and Joe, to the Watermarks family. We've been really busy since then, working hard at trying to materialize this dream we have called music, so we never had the time to finish our little project. Until now...
Well, it's not that we have the time, but I just said "screw it" and decided to finish the video. I have no ideas how many hours I've worked on it this past week, dozens probably. I guess since our lineup has changed a bit, we shouldn't consider this the final video for this song. There is a chance we could re-shoot it (without a red light) with the help of a much more experienced person behind the camera, not that we were not satisfied with Matt's takes, but the truth is that he's not a filmmaker. The video editing will also be in hands of this person probably keeping the basic concept , and I bet lots of the edits too, because I've never cut this much video in my life. But it will be a much cleaner and better looking piece as a whole. Now, when will this be? We don't know, we have already lots a things going on, but hopefully this year.
In the mean time, please enjoy The Watermarks' first music video, and weather you like it or not, you must remember that it was done with love!
