Litewave Media Shoots Tampa Music Video

StaciB — Thu, 03 May 2012 14:35:02 +0000

Litewave Media’s Tampa video crew headed to Weeki Wachee Springs, Florida to film the music video for Erin Cosgrove’s new single, “Dirty Blue Jeans.” This high end music video production will support the band’s efforts to help the single go viral.

Litewave Media the leading innovative video production company, took a Tampa production crew of twelve, including lighting techs, camera, Jib, and Dolly operators, and production assistants to the famous Florida state park known for its ancient cypress oaks. The video was filmed on three Canon 7D cameras using Canon L series lenses, which provided stellar quality and pushed the optical envelope.

The flora and fauna at Weeki Wachee provided the perfect backdrop for the country-crossover single. Getting the perfect shots and right angles was a breeze with Kessler Crane’s motorized slider. Add in the Steadicam, Varizoom Quick Jib and a number of DSLR shoulder rigs and the result is clear, crisp footage that will create a video worthy of an MTV premier.

Editing is scheduled this month at Litewave Media video production studios in St. Petersburg, Florida. Using Final Cut Pro and After Effects, the team will craft the perfect video to accompany the pop country song that Erin recorded earlier this year at Tampa’s premier recording studio, Litewave Media. The music video and single will be available in June 2012 on iTunes.

This is one of a number of music videos shot by our video production company in Tampa, Florida. To talk to us about shooting your music video or other video production needs, e-mail us at info@litewavemedia.com.

Last year I got a chance to check out the Saint Petersburg Grand Prix for the first time from the sidelines and had a blast, so when we got the call from a Japanese production company to film a series of TV commercials for Japanese racecar driver Takuma Sato we were very excited. The weekend of video production turned out to be quite intense.

With full access passes, we were able to even get out on the track and shoot just a few feet from the cars racing by! Our tampa video production crew got some great footage of the event. (Check out our pics below). Our St. Petersburg production crew also filmed an exclusive interview with Takuma Sato and got some great behind the scenes video footage. We hope to go back again next year!
