The Video:

The latest installment of the Green Screening video series is of the duo Lightouts, a Gowanus, Brooklyn-based band that possesses a sound reminiscent of 90's fuzzed-out rock at its finest -- but also manages to sound completely new and invigorating all the while. My Old Kentucky Blog latched onto this band immediately describing them as what "The Jesus and The Mary Chain might sound like with Robert Smith fronting, " and for good reason.

Lightouts was the first of 27 bands to perform as part of the Green Screening series. Naturally, anxiety was mixed with the heat from lights, smoke, and an overbearing man smell that was the sign of two musicians - and filmmakers - hard at work.

Director Drew Norton shot the duo performing the single "See Clear." At first, the video may seem like just another straight-forward, black and white take in some scrappy abandoned Brooklyn studio, but right as the riffs begin to kick, so does the off-kilter, psychedelic-infused filmography that sees the duo multiplying, changing color, but most importantly, rocking.

The Green Screening video for "See Clear" was taped during the CMJ Festival last October in Brooklyn, NY. Rhodes of Lightouts had this to say about the experience: "Director Drew Norton shot over 20 bands in 7 days at Seaside Studios in Brooklyn. We were actually the first band in, which end up being lucky, because the studio was small and super hot. By the end of the shoot it had developed an unappealing aroma. Still, it was amazing to be part of such a ambitious project."

The Project:

Green Screening was the brainchild of Brooklyn-based, Virginia-native director Drew Norton. Over the past year he has been working independently with indie labels such as Rough Trade and Barsuk to create music videos for up-and-coming acts that bring to life their sound, represent the band's brand, and also get traction and exposure online. His reel is at vimeo.com/user628221. Norton wanted to work collaboratively with artists and create a faster-turnaround production model and to get the Green Screening project off the ground he managed to raise thousands of dollars via crowd-funding site Kickstarter.

Twenty-eight talented acts signed-up to come to Seaside Lounge studios in Park Slope, rented out especially by Drew, to lay down a live track for at no expense to the artist or label. They all performed in recording space decked-out in full "greenscreen" backdrops so that bespoke visuals could be added in afterward. This event was held in parallel to the CMJ Music Marathon in October 2010, a time when many bands were in town to showcase their music, and when the spotlight was on the Brooklyn scene. Some of the bands involved include Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., Ava Luna, The Dewars, Lightouts, Tanya Morgan and many more.
