THE COOL CATS WILL CALL. So I've created a super hero storybook character for my latest music video. I went with a Druidic symbol on my chest, therefore, those of you in the know will get why it makes sense to run with the moniker of BARDMAN. I spent a bit of time on Hollywood Boulevard working with some real life (actors portraying) storybook characters. There is a line in this Cody Melville song "All the storybook heroes, are looking like a couple friends of mine", which, I suspect, somehow, inspired the crazy thought to create BARDMAN and bring him to life on Hollywood Boulevard. Yes, now I can honestly state that I, joyously, have spent time with famous living characters such as, The Flash, Spongebob, Black Zorro, Superman, along with a compelling Michael Jackson reboot and several cool dudes with well mannered boa constrictors.
Ken Fischman helped me shoot this video - thanks Ken! It is a Cody Melville written and produced song! I have some color correction and titling yet to take care of on this video, but, I expect to post the completed version this coming Monday. Oh, and I discovered an amazing new actress to play the role of my date in this video. She seems a bit stiff - awkward - yet aesthetically, she is well put together and gave a flawless, unreal, performance. THE COOL CATS WILL CALL is a lively, fun song, and ultimately I believe the video satires the idea of the pursuit of fame... Or, at least, my pursuit of fame. Regardless, I had a kick putting it together, and, would add, while shooting one day I was asked by Wonder Woman about my superhero powers. I pondered her inquiry as I mumbled, "I'm just a singer shooting some video on Hollywood Boulevard." Brandishing a warm beautiful smile she said, "Then that must be your superpower. Singing." Wow. Wouldn't it be nice if Wonder Woman was only right.
