ANOTHER COLLABORATION
WITH COUNTRY MUSIC ARTIST
GORD BAMFORD ON
“MY DAUGHTER’S FATHER”
A MUSIC VIDEO FOR CMT
Fresh from winning CMT VIDEO OF THE YEAR for “Day Job” at the recent Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) Awards, Crowsnest Films once again collaborated with Lacombe country music singer Gord Bamford to create the music video for his current hit single “My Daughter’s Father”. The video was filmed in early November on location in Lacombe, Alberta and at the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton, Alberta. It was produced and directed by John Kerr of Crowsnest Films, with cinematography by Courtenay Forster, art direction by Garth Whelen, and post-production and color correction by Jeff August from Jump Studios.
“This music video attempts to capture those precious and fleeting moments between fathers and daughters. What was important about the execution of this idea was that it could not feel contrived. It needed to have a real, almost documentary feeling to it,” said John Kerr, President of Crowsnest Films. “Shooting on the Canon 5-D Mark II DSLR camera allowed us to be unobtrusive and capture some really natural moments with an affordable 35-mm look. I can’t say enough about how much Gord and his family opened up to us and let us into their world, creating what I hope will be a unique and intimate experience for his fans and everyone to enjoy.”
The “My Daughter’s Father” music video was funded entirely by the CMT Canada Video Assistance Program and will begin airing on CMT beginning December 5, 2010 as part of what is planned to be a broader cross platform interactive initiative inviting fans to create their own versions and mash-ups of the video using actual footage from the production and/or user generated content.
