I have just returned from a six day journey with the Orlando based Heavy Metal group, Empyrean. I was asked by my friends Mike and Adam of the band to helm their music video for the song "Le Retour de Mere-Terre" off of their latest album Resurrection Engine. I agreed, and Directed, Shot, and will Edit the video. The concepts that the band had in mind were most epic, and took us on an adventure to the mountains of Northern Georgia, to the expansive ocean backdrop of the Florida Keys. We shot in a Victorian Manor in Gainesville, as well as the thick Florida backwoods in Geneva. We drove over 40 hours, and the amount of Taurine intake is most likely above numbers that my general practitioner would be comfortable with. The 70 gigs of HD footage was shot with the Canon 5D Mark II. Editing will begin immediately, to prepare the promotion for their summer tour.
