To promote the launch of VJ Band's brand New CD "Living In A Blue State" the group is making its very first Music Video in collaboration with Northwest Filmmaker Sebastien Scandiuzzi (of Pressing Pictures); The band's first single, an original tune "The Bones of Richard III" (Music & Lyrics by VJ) is a fun, rollicking waltz that expresses the excitement of finding the bones of the long lost monarch (and subject of Shakespeare's tragic play). The storyboard (frame-by-frame drawing of the four-and-a-half-minute video) shows the Band performing the song -- featuring a harmonic duet by Victor Janusz & Angie Louise-- inter-cut with scenes of well-known Seattle actors in vignettes from the play (Tim Gouran of Seattle Shakespeare Company is cast as Richard III). Funds raised will cover stipends (fees) for five actors, five band members, and the camera crew. Pressing Pictures offers a very generous work model -- and Seattle's ACT Theatre offers the perfect venue to film.
