Ashton Allen Video Shoot
Jamie Kohns on October 2nd, 2005
Yesterday was an adventure! Ashton Allen, a Jacksonville, FL singer/songwriter was in Atlanta to shoot a video for one of his songs, and since I hang out with his tour manager occasionally, I got to appear in the vid. Here’s the funny part- I was playing violin! Yeah, I haven’t even picked up the violin for nearly two years, but still I’m playing violin in a video. Anyways, it was a great time! I was joined by three members of Duluth High’s orchestra, who were all very sweet girls. Along with the strings, there was a ‘horn section’ made up of an oboe playing trumpet, a trumpet playing trombone, and two french horns (of which I think only one actually played french horn). I was taking snaps with my cameraphone all day-
The shoot was at Shout restaurant in midtown, in their upstairs bar area, and there was an assortment of extras on hand to fill in the seats. The whole thing was staged to look like a live performance. Mike’s been out running around with the shooting crew for three days, so I would imagine the parts we shot Sunday will play a minor part in the overall video. More pics from the day (all my cameraphone pics are on my flickr page).
By the time things wrapped at about 3:30 pm, I was exhausted. I ran home to do some laundry, then just vegged in front of the telly the rest of the night. Speaking of which- I love the show Grey’s Anatomy, and this week’s episode opening scene feature K.T. Tunstall’s song Suddenly I See. I’m excited to see her getting some attention here in the U.S., and hope she makes it accross the pond soon to do a tour!
