The new music video, "Viva Forever" premiers


SIX, featuring six videos in each season, finally has it's second video of season II, "Viva Forever," starring Kristy, Courtney, Tina, Jonny, and Tim. Also take a look at the photo gallery for more photos, in addition to those on the right, and the Behind the scenes footage.

We decided to try something new with this video. It's our first ballad...and definitely the longest of the videos on SIX (totaling three minutes and fifteen seconds). I'm not quite sure what people will think of this, but I think it's a nice change. It seemed like all of our recent videos were becoming a little too similar... They were all old-fashioned, fast paced, and happy-go-lucky.

I got the idea to do a candle-light video about two or three weeks ago. We had just been hit by a small hurricane and had lost electricity for about 24 hours. I was sitting in our candle-light kitchen that night, and thought it would be cool to make a candle light video... especially since I already knew we wanted to make a slower paced video to add some variety to SIX... but I wasn't quite sure if candle-light would show up on camera...

About a week later, Kristy called and asked if we wanted to "hang out," and I brought up the idea of making a candle-light video. The next day we got about 33 candles from Wal-mart and got in touch with Courtney while she was still at work. She told us that she wouldn't get off work until 9:15 that night, but we knew we wouldn't be able to even start filming until it got completely dark out, which was usually around 9:00.

To make a long story short, we filmed the video that night (Thursday, July 16, 2004), and then I spent about 40 hours during the next week and a half editing the darn thing. Now that it's finished, I must have watched it about 50 times...heh...

Thanks again to the stars for your hard work...I know you're not exactly making your first million by starring in this video... Maybe someday I'll give all of you a nice big piece of candy or something... :) haha...

Well, I hope everybody likes the video. Check back for more to come during the rest of the summer! Bye for now.
