Bri Bagwell Music Video “Whiskey”

Daran Herrman — Tue, 01 May 2012 20:15:25 +0000

ColoredLion.com has been working with Bri Bagwell for over the last 2 years and we have created some awesome products… and we have just topped all of them. Bri needed a world class CMT style music video but had a slight problem… funding. My response?

No problem.

Anyone who knows me with tell you that I live the saying that every issue has opportunities and the bigger the issue the bigger the opportunity.

So we decided to raise some funds by creating Bri a Kickstarter page. Her goal? $11k – we raised $20,775.00… BOOM! Let’s make a video! (click here to email me if you would like a video but don’t want to pay for it)

So I dialed up Christine Chen from Moth to Flame to help produce and direct Bri’s debut music video for her new single “Whiskey.” The shoot took two full days at two different locations, Rock Studio Pool in Dripping Springs and Saxon Pub. The project would not have been possible without a crew of awesome people. Stay tuned in the next few weeks because we will have exclusive behind the scenes material. We are very excited about the release and the first day had over 2,000 views!

The Color Run in ATX

Oh what a mess! And no, I’m not talking about getting plastered with paint. Heavy incoming traffic, rain, mud, mud, mud, slow runners, mud, and a some paint. Overall, the Color Run was a great time. Would I run it differently? Sure, but the ending was made everything well worth it and we all made some well deserved memories… ColorRun & ColoredLion.com make for some damn bright pictures.

Bri Bagwell Music Video Trailer

Daran Herrman — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:27:55 +0000

Two days of intense 8-10 hour day shooting, with crew call times of 6:00 am in the morning, and countless hours of editing later… we are proud to finally reveal the trailer for Bri Bagwell’s debut music video produced by Daran Herrman of ColoredLion.com and Christine Chen of Mothtoflamefilms.com. What an amazing journey to the final product. We had a crew that supported us every day and a very talented artist, Bri Bagwell, to work with. So many people have helped to make this possible.

We will be hosting a VIP release party on Feb. 12, 2012 for those who helped to make this video possible. Make sure to like our fan page or find us on twitter so that you can ask us any questions you may have about the process of making this video. Check back often for behind the scenes and exclusives! The official release of Bri’s video will be April 2012.

Music Video First Look with Bri Bagwell

Daran Herrman — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 15:22:05 +0000

MothtoFlameFilms.com, Coloredlion.com, BriBagwell.com, and RogerCreager.com… too many .com’s in a room as producer, Daran Herrman pointed out, met together in Christine’s upscale studio (her room that looks suspiciously like a dorm room) on Jan 25, 2012, to see the 1st cut of Bri’s debut music video. The conclusion? Bri loved it. One of the biggest fears of a filmmaker, in my opinion, is waiting on the verdict of a key stakeholder. Though I am confident in my work, it is always hard to judge what the audience expects. Taste and preference are extremely subjective and what appeals to you may not to your target audience. Luckily, I scored A+’s in all categories (everyone approved) and they haven’t even seen the final product yet! Watch below as Moth to Flame takes you behind the scenes with Bri Bagwell’s first look at her debut music video.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Daran Herrman — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 22:45:42 +0000

Every once and a great while you meet someone that you are absolutely captivated by and make any excuse you can to spend more time by their side. Carianne is that girl. The room shifts when she walks in the room and everyone takes notice. What can a guy do? Well I decide to put 7 carats of diamonds hand cut in Russia on each ear and take pictures (14.75 carats total weight for those who were counting.) $20K and the earrings are yours, add a few zeros for the blonde and get in line.

Here is a preview of a ColoredLion.com photo shoot with photographer Daran Herrman and Bri Bagwell and the Banned. Since Bri is flying all around the country and blowing up in the Texas country music scene I had only about a days notice to prepare for the shoot. Luckily Christine Chen from Moth To Flame Films was available on short notice to help with lighting and did an amazing job. Big thanks to the TownHouse that allowed us to use their amazing location. Check out the video below (taken by a member of Bri’s team) & come back for the pictures!
