A song about a little girl who touched the hearts of the band before she passed on. Shot on ActionMaster 500's, 16mm high-speed cameras that were purchased from NASA when they switched to video. (Maybe this camera filmed some of the launch footage we've seen?) For the slow-motion dolly effect, I designed a contraption that revolved around the band on a 15' arm, creating a 30' circular dolly move that spun at 30 RPM (that's a full circle in 2 seconds.) The rain was created with rain towers (visible in frame but blending in with the space.) The band were real sports for getting wet repeatedly for 8 hours. The video got nominated for a Juno award (Canada's Grammys.)
