For anyone curious...we shot this in -20 degrees Celsius in 2-3 hours with just the three of us running around like madmen trying to get enough footage for a 30 minute song before the sun set. Nick and Scott had to take turns warming up in my car. Im surprised Nick doesn’t have frost bite on his fingers from this shoot as he mentioned already haha. We shot on a single camera, my Arri Alexa Mini LF that I had just received and wanted to test out in a harsh exterior setting with less than ideal conditions so this was a perfect setting. We used Atlas Orion Anamorphic Lenses, primarily the 40mm. Aside from one shot in the beginning on The Dana Dolly, I shot everything handheld with help from my EasyRig Vario 5 Stabil. All natural light, no time or support for video lights. Can't wait to do it again!

I started playing Guitar in the very early 90s... after being raised on PROG-Rock, Tommy Emmanuel and Joe Satriani. I got into Allan Holdsworth, Yngwie... and a lot of shredders, as well as Jazz guitarists. Recently I’ve been listening to World Music and old styles of music. When I hear new guitarists, it’s virtually impossible for me to bat an eyelid anymore. However... this is exceptional. The music is fantastic... and the guitar playing is just outstanding. There’s so much emotion and feel. The guitar doesn’t impose on the song at all... The guitar work is so lyrical and complimentary to the song. And again... the music in the background is fantastic. It’s a great song even without guitar... but the guitar adds to it. This is absolutely unbelievable.

in a nutshell: Nick is chased by the Coronavirus in the Woods symbolized by the Dude in the Red Cape. He's crankin out a tasty funk riff seems to help at first, but then the virus feeds on it and starts to multiply. Thats a no go but addin a Phrygian Dom scale shred frightens off the virus which gives time for Nick to escape off the Mountain. The virus multiplying still but the solo gave Nick an aura so he's kinda protected. Ending with a cliffhanger, Nick is walking to the valley to save humanity from the virus, but it closely watches, the struggle is obviously not over yet. 😁👍🤘
