The Making of a Music Video: A Photo Essay

On Thursday, the music video for "Whole Wide World" will release.
This video has taken an eternity to make, but it was mostly just an eternity of having
A LOT OF FUN.
Please enjoy this photo essay of some of the behind-the-scenes moments while filming.

Director, Julian Acosta and camera operator, Derek Pueblo survey the dunes in Delta, UT.

I practice on the dirt bike for a few simple scenes, while my the camera crew is busy filming my stunt double on some killer jumps. Wish I could've done the jumps!

Producer, Jared Harris is mostly there to make me laugh.

This Apache helicopter just happened to fly into this scene while we were filming. We totally kept it in the video. How could we not?

Running through colored puffs of smoke in St. George.

I got plastered. (It's really just chalk dust, not smoke).

I tried to do ballet. It was a disaster. I couldn't walk for days afterward due to a sore booty.

Running with some awesome girls. We originally shot this scene in Arizona and the footage didn't turn out so we had to redo it in Utah. I've been feeling terrible about it. If you volunteered in Arizona, I really hope you can forgive me.

We chase the camera man in the truck (Derek Pueblo).

Recognize these little beauties?
There are quite a few fun cameos in the video of people you will recognize.

Look! There's another familiar face! Blogger, Marilyn Lott, happened to be in town for this. I was so happy she could make an appearance!

We filmed the last scene at the ice castles in Midway, UT after I chopped all my hair off (also a scene in the video. You get to watch all my hair fall to the floor).

Many thanks to all who were involved in the video. I'm excited to share it with you!
Come back Thursday!
