The Prairie States - Ferris Wheel Music Video

One of the best parts about our job is getting the chance to work with amazing people. That’s exactly what happened when the very talented Prairie States asked us back in September to shoot a music video for their upcoming single “Ferris Wheel.”

Shooting music videos is one of the most challenging and rewarding types of projects to take on. Often, turn around times are quick and budget can be tight. With an all-star team though, you can come away with something everyone is really proud of–and have a little fun along the way.

For this project, our good friend Pete Nguyen came on to help create the concept and direct the production. We ended up filming the whole thing in one (long) day in October and turning it around in time for the band to take to the Country Music Awards the following month.

Below is a little look into that day. Enjoy!
