This is a music video for Steve Unruh's instrumental piece "Tragic Scene From Some Movie". Yes, that is the song's real name, however, the film was given the title "Serenade" for submission into festivals. This was a project for my music video class during the summer of 2006. It was also my directorial debut and my first project shot on film.
The overall concept of the video was a young man attempting to serenade his dream girl with a violin. There were two parts to the video, the first part was the violinist's fantasy where he wins over the young woman and they drive off together. The second part is the reality where the violinist discovers that his crush already has a boyfriend and his jealousy drives him to drastic measures.
The shoot actually went very smoothly, but the set up was long, hot and complicated.
