WASHED OUT - “Waking Up” Solar Eclipse Live Performance

[Music Video] During the Nashville eclipse in 2017 a seed was planted in my mind of one day attempting to shoot a one-take performance video timed to an eclipse. On April 8th in Bandera, Texas that idea finally came to fruition. Right when the clock struck 1:32:01PM we had to begin shooting and if the camera bumped, or a battery wasn’t charged enough, or a terrible gust of wind came there was nothing we could do. Perhaps the largest challenge of all was setting the exposure and balancing the lighting for a frame that we wouldn’t see until 1 minute into the take. Weeks of studying exposure graphs during past eclipses to estimate our exposure settings during totality was just a piece of the puzzle in pulling this shot off.
