How do you afford such lavish music videos? What camera was that shot on? Looked pretty nice.

Ten years of hard work and savings. All of the videos are shot on hd, by my amazing director, Gary Tachell; we had a really big crew for Mormon and Clown, plus two other ones that will be released in the next few weeks. We shot 4 videos in 5 days in LA, 14 hour days; needless to say I hardly slept at all. Wimp was my first video, then Aunt Jemima. I've written about 14 and the best 10 or 12 will go in the album. Things are starting to buzz just through grass roots and word of mouth. I'm still new to the whole you tube thing, so I'm trying to figure out how to get more hits and build up the Bobio brand name before releasing the album. The response to all of my videos has been really positive and I'm so thankful for that. Thanks for the kind words.TMBJon wrote:How do you afford such lavish music videos?

Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm starting to build up the Bobio brand via advertising, so the album should be out in about 2 months. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again for the nice words mb. P.S. you can help by forwarding the videos to everyone you think might enjoy them.mybologna wrote:I listened to some of your songs, defiantly wanna get your album when it comes out. When might it?

Concur on your first point, sometimes it's sheer drudgery listening to some of the music, but I must confess despite the awful lyrics Low is really catchy, as is Party Like a Rock Star. Thanks so much for the kind words, I'm truly flattered and appreciative; all I ask is that if you like it, pass it on and become a fan on my Bobio facebook page. Hope to get the album out within the next two months, lastly, I'm embarrassed to admit, I have no idea how to release a cd, major research and google mode is about to commence.Way_Moby wrote:While I'm not a fan of the "Hip new-fangled music" the kids are listening to these days... I LOVE "Party Like a Mormon"!
I really want to get that song! When is your album availible?
BTW, what are you using to get your album made?
