Keeper Lit Glasgow Wedding Band : Music Video by White Balloon Films
Last weekend White Balloon Films filmed a music video for one of Glasgow’s finest wedding/function bands, Keeper Lit. Although in 2013 White Balloon Films branched out into filming weddings, our origins are in fact in producing music videos and corporate animations. We are a creative, boutique production company that amongst other things, films weddings and it is for this reason that we have a slightly creative angle to our wedding videos. That being said, we are always mindful that a couple looking back at their video will most likely not be wanting to see the videographer’s creative journey of self discovery but in fact a reliable and beautifully filmed account of their day. With that in mind, White Balloon Films’ approach to filming weddings might have a thread of creativity running throughout but the emphasis is firmly on class and quality. You will not find hand-held camera shake or random zooming in our films. Instead, you can expect to see smooth, classy filming of your special day.
Music videos on the other hand are a completely different ball game! Filming a music video is a completely different discipline to filming a wedding. The handheld shake we so deliberately avoid on you wedding day is a fundamental part of a music video. So too can be the creative use of zoom and other such wedding videography sins. For this very reason, we love making music videos! The uncontrolled environment of a wedding day is replaced by the controlled environment of a studio or venue. On one hand, the luxury of all this control is a joy to behold but on the other, it creates a pressure to do something quite special with you new found freedom as film makers. Fortunately, with years of experience and not to mention on half of White Balloon Films having graduated from the London College of Communication, we are in a position to grab that creative freedom with both hands and turn it to something special. For all of these reasons, the video we produced for Glasgow-based wedding band Ernest, produced quite a stir and the latest addition to our wedding band music video portfolio is that of another excellent Glasgow-based wedding and function band, Keeper Lit.
We filmed the video for this indie-rock four-piece in 29 Private Members Club, Glasgow and on Buchanan Street in the city centre. Soon we will be releasing the music video itself but in the meantime, here are some screenshots.
