I wrapped the longest music video shoot I’ve ever done (three days) yesterday – for Stan’s “Wangeci” – a single from his debut album “Kenya Debut”. Cool stuff – got some nice footage, made new friends, lots of light and color. I won’t edit it for a few weeks, so I can concentrate on TRNSMSSN (Aaaaaaargh! One week to go!); here’s screengrabs from the raw footage in the meantime.

I also finished the second PLUS shoot (“Here’s Kevin with the Weather”) sometime last month – this time with Kevin from Classic. I’ll post those as soon as this month is over (if I SURVIVE this month, that is).

I’m going crazy shooting videos back to back, all for the TRNSMSSN show next month. I’ve just finished shooting/editing the promo for another Just A Band song – If I Could. This time, I was playing around with split-screens and working with the very talented Patricia Kihoro and Kevin Maina (aka K2 – who was the “astronaut” in Fly). Fun!

Anyone who wants to see it will have to wait for the premiere on TRNSMSSN. I’ll YouTube it quickly after that.

The Goethe-Institut Nairobi has commissioned Just A Band with works of video art for their first art show – TRNSMSSN:.

Just A Band will mark the finissage on Saturday May 16, 2009 with END_TRNSMSSN , a DJ set of their favorite house, electro, pop and funk tunes. Entry free. Facebook users can RSVP here.
