I'm excited to show you everything that went into filming and producing my recent music video "Time Run" from my album GAME OF SHADOWS. My husband (Will) and I do everything ourselves, and so there is a lot of DIY involved. In this Behind-the-Scenes I'm not only showing you everything involved in creating this video, but I thought it would be beneficial to also answer some of the common questions people ask who know nothing about making music videos or film production. I hope that you enjoy!
