MUSIC VIDEOS
BILLY GILMAN - “ Soldier “
Billy asked us to create another music video with a powerful message. He wanted the gritty visuals to dramatically illustrate the integrity of the song lyrics. Being a soldier is not only about going to war, but it is the importance of standing up for what you believe in and knowing you have the strength to overcome your battles by sheer determination and compassion from the heart. The crew shot for one week utilizing locations in Westerly, RI, Manchester, Hartford, and a boxing gym in Norwich, CT
ALEX MCARTOR - “ Loving Is The Way “
British music video director James Canty asked the tribe to assist with the production of this music video for a talented young recording artist from Texas. James was looking for a location that could serve as a nostalgic summer beach park and we knew the prime locale was in Misquamicut. With the blessings from the Atlantic Beach Casino, Water Wizz Park, Bayview Fun Park, and the Sea Shell Motel, we had the perfect backdrop to match Alex 's beautiful voice.
BILLY GILMAN - " Say You Will "
We were honored to be asked to do another video for Billy. His request was to create strong visuals of him walking down the streets of a New England harbor city. We decided our home port of New London, Connecticut was the perfect backdrop and with the blessings of some great friends we were abe to use the Garde Theater to retreat from the nine degree winter air.
THE LIFTED - " Wrecking Ball "
The boys from the band came to us and said... “We want to do a video that will show how alcohol can destroy your soul.” So we looked for a place that could help us elaborate that idea and found the perfect location at the old cotton mill in Baltic, Connecticut. The band “lifted” themselves above and beyond to pull off a fantastic video.
CHRISSY WACKER - “ Sogno Di Doretta “
Being an accomplished “POP ERA” singer at thirteen, Chrissy’s voice mesmerized us all. After hearing her rendition of Puccini’s masterpiece, we pictured her as a modern day princess trapped within her mansion walls. To find the right location we turned to the Harkness Estate in New London, Connecticut. Despite the harsh wind of a cold November day, when leaves where literally dropping off the trees as we shot, the resulting magic was due to the fact that Chrissy filmed barefoot!
BILLY GILMAN - " Hey Little Suzie "
The song told the story.Using America’s favorite past time, the symbolic lucky 7, and our national colors as a backdrop, the video illustrates the fact that It’s not important if you win or loose.. What's important is that you have fun playing the game!”
We filmed this at Cimalore field on a hot July day and the town of Westerly couldn’t have been more accommodating. Special thanks to the Board of Westerly Parks and Rec, The Westerly High School Athletic Department, the Misquamicut Fire Department, our dedicated softball players and all the people in the bleachers that “cooled off” with the rain.

AL COPLEY - “ Hoy Hoy Hoy ”
Caveau de la Huchette is a world famous jazz cellar in the Latin Quarter where Parisians go to listen to the best of the best. When legendary blues artist Al Copley asked us to create this video, he wanted real people... real dancing. So I asked where we could find a good troupe of swing dancers in Paris to compliment his swinging sizzle. Al said to me, when I hit the keys... just roll” ...and the rest was magic.
