About this project
It's hard to believe that Fishtank Ensemble has been around since 2006 and we don't yet have a brilliant, well-deserved music video. Sure, there's lots of hand-held, low-quality, camera phone videos of us taken from the crowd up on youtube, but we're finally ready to make a great video for the title track of 3rd CD, 'Woman in Sin'.
We are especially excited because we have a great concept and an amazing director attached to the project, Laban Pheidias with his super-talented staff at 2HeadedHorse Productions. We will be rolling a hand-built gypsy wagon, shipped over from Europe, through the streets of Los Angeles in a roving musical party. At various times in the video, we will go into the wagon to see what fantastical worlds await us inside. Check out the beautiful wagon that was hand built by Fabrice Martinez and Ursula Knudson when they were living in Italy.
With your help, we are trying to raise $2000 to make this happen. Any money raised above that amount will go directly into the production and promotion of this ambitious musical video. If we can reach about $4000, we'll actually shoot two videos at the same time.
Since our start, we have been a completely do-it-yourself band. This is the first time we're asking for help to complete a project because we want to do it really well. We work very hard at making this music and we travel eight months of the year to bring it to our fans. We would be truly appreciative if you would help us achieve our goal and we promise that this same work ethic will be applied to the making of this video. Thanks for reading and we hope to see you at one of our shows sometime soon.
