Amazing! We reached our goal with 8 days to spare!
We are a group of young (and young at heart!) people passionate about film living and working in Canberra. We have been given the opportunity to work with a professional musician to make a music video. The song, written and sung by the beautiful and talented Tabitha Ojeah is called "The One" and is a happy upbeat song all about being in love and loving being in love. The video is all about love and happiness and will show Tabitha’s amazing talent around a happy storyline of friends and lovers having fun together. We cannot wait to shoot it!
However, as with all film productions, they come at a cost. We are so excited and overwhelmed that we have reached our goal of $600 with more than 8 days to spare and now we would like to stretch ourselves a little more. If we reached $1,000 we would be able to use a professional colourist to work on the video in post production and if we reached $1,500 we could get a professional set designer in to help us with the shoot!
Contributions start at just $10! Check out the right hand side bar for all the perks! You could even get a shout out from Tabitha on Twitter!

There are always obstacles in any project like this, trying to get the cast and crew together, equipment hire, and weather conditions all in the right place at the right time. We have contingencies in place, friends offering to help with the shoot and umbrellas too!
We are also trying to lock in a date for the shoot as soon as possible which will reduce the risk of failing on equipment hire and cast and crew.
