Music Video with the Butlers (44 pic overload)

in #musicvideo5 years ago

The Butlers are one of my favorite families and they happen to have 5 Million subscribers on Youtube... in any case they recorded a Music Video for their daughter a few weeks back and I was there to take some pictures.

THE MUSIC VIDEO

Between takes i was able to jump in and say "Avia wanna sit on top of the piano real quick"


Or quickly while they're setting up the next shot let's get a shot with you playing with your fancy dress


But mostly I just grabbed some candids during filming.

THE BUTLERS - AKA "THE SHAYTARDS"

They make daily family videos and sometimes music videos and stuff like that.

MY VIDEO CAMEO

Here's the behind the scene video from this photoshoot and i'll link you right to the part i'm in... i'm scattered in there in a few places.

BEHIND THE SCENES


I didn't even have to turn the camera to silent mode during filming because music videos they don't use the on location filming.

Here's the behind the scenes look... nothing too fancy but it works


It was fall over there in idaho and i got some of the beautiful scenery


then i got some candids as they filmed this part


Shay and Colette with a bit of that fall backdrop


And then stepping up the couple shot a few notches.

The other couples shot later that day. haha


and Shay being a goof


Credit Avia... she played that song a whole heck of a lot of times that day on an out of tune piano


can't forget the 13yr old taller than her mom. haha


We went to some random stops


that just pushes you to take pics like this

THE REST OF THE FAMILY

PROFILE PICTURES


Who is that masked man!


The regal dog... with handprints.


sometimes you just dance when the music is on

THE CREW


Recreation of a shot I did for Shay the first time I took pictures on set for him.

A FEW MORE OF AVIA

THE CAMEO

Let's end it on a high note

Here's a previous video cameo from the first time I hung out with them in Idaho 4 years ago

THOUGHTS ABOUT HOW WE SEE THE WORLD

Anyway hope you enjoyed the overload of pics and you get a perfect feel for what the day and the video are like... this was how I see things.

It's been 4 years since that one time when I parked my airstream at their house for a week but I told Shay it felt like old times and what I love about being there is that life has this sort of beautiful free flowing feel to it when you're up there with Shay and then you add in the idea that every normal moment can be lived with a bunch of passion and joy. Shay has a gift to make the ordinary moments seem level 10 of 10.

In a world where it seems people try to plan out their time to have fun and be happy... they teach a great lesson of making all your moments happy and even fun, you don't have to plan them out you just have to decide to do it.

DEEP THOUGHTS
If my pictures are a representation of the ideal of the way i personally see the world ... and I do it through a tool in this art form.
I would think Shay's videos are a representation of the ideal of the way he sees the world and he shows in his own art form the way he sees the world.

Not every thing around me looks like my pictures... but I choose to document the moments when I see glimpses of the best the world has to offer and my pictures are the way life looks like to me. I think Shay's videos are the glimpses of the way he sees life at it's best.

It's not the full time reality it's the best of his reality.

It really is a wonderful time being over there... I love their little family and would hang out with them anytime with or without the camera around.

STEEM?
p.s. I grabbed their account for them @shaytards ... they're not on yet and that's fine because steempeak (and steem in general) still needs to do a few things to handle larger influencers. But i'll make their account a beneficiary of the post and give them the account when they're ready.

Sort:  

Great photos.
"it seems people try to plan out their time to have fun and be happy... they teach a great lesson of making all your moments happy and even fun..." reading this i kinda realised one thing about my photography (mostly the candid one) that unconsciously i try to capture the happiness and joy that even people themselves don't notice. how many times someone make you smile and when you think about your day you don't remember it. or expressions of people while reading a text from someone important to them. the small things

Stunning scenery, it's really awesome having a piano out in the fields like that. But your photography is something out - every picture is just perfect and so vibrant - really incredible. I am sure they were more then happy with the results - no wonder they keep asking you to do more work for them.

Thank you very much for the Witness vote, I'm assuming you know @derangedvisions already every vote helps and we both really appreciate it.

Yeah i was voting for @derangedvisions and had forgotten to change the vote when he switched to helping you.

I'v actually never heard of SHAYTARDS #wherehaveIbeen but I checked them out on YT and give them a follow just now on facebook. Dang 4 years doing it daily. It totally take time to do all this. This inspires me!

Love all the photos here and this one got my whole heart

What a happy family. At least, one of the happiest job ones could do for living! :)

They took a year off of blogging to recenter their lives a bit and just started back up earlier this year but don't do it every single day which is good. And yes I consider them a happy family on and off the camera.

Great pictures and fun to see the videos too.

Yeah the main video just came out today

These pics are top notch man.. Great shots!!

Always amazed and inspired to see your portrait photography !
