Rise Up, Daylight Breaks - Dance Video Shoot
 
April 22, 2008
After we finished our second big song "Rise Up, Daylight Breaks" we wanted to do something extra-ordinary by filming a video that showed something way different from our first Music Video. 
 
After trying out many ideas, Jon decided to ask his old friend Camille Chrysler to choreograph some dance to the music.  She graciously accepted and started working on the dance steps, between her other very busy schedule.
 
After several weeks of planning and rehearsals, the dance troupe assembled at The Good Sheppard Center in Seattle for the filming. 
 
Filming of the amazing dancers, some with parents and others there for the entire day, took six hours with very little in the way of breaks.  The film team consisted of three camera men, all working in different places in the theater to get the best angles and shots of the dance troupe.
 
Due to a host of other incidents, no video has been produced thus far.  However we wanted to make sure that those interested would have a way of viewing the stills from that day and are placing the link.
 
We want to send an extra huge thanks for Camille and her excellent dancers for putting their hearts into the dancing.
