Zooming with Bill Griese

Written by Melyssa Vazquez (Director)

When I was first presented with this song I was very excited about it. It was something different that Shoebox Story had never done before. From there we started working with Bill Griese on how we could turn this song into the video it deserved. Bill sent us pictures of the town he lived in and we fell in love with the landscape. When I arrived on the day of the shoot the foliage was better than I could’ve imagined. I spent some time looking for the perfect background to the performance shots and drifted off for a little while taking it all in. On our drive to the location we spotted the lake and we just had to get a shot or two there.

As the day was ending we still had to get a couple more shots and thanks to our Canon 7D camera we were able to capture the golden hour without much gain.

About a week after the video was completed I was very excited to see the song had been picked for a Fujifilm commercial airing nationally.
