Moaning Lisa Smile
Music/Video Production for Cottonwood Records
“We’re not looking for instant success. We’re taking small steps and that whole process will take – well, it will take as long as it takes” – Ellie Rowsell
We had a blast working with Kate Andrews High School on this music video for their inaugural Experiential Learning Week. We first recorded the song at Louis Studios with MTC, a local band from Kate Andrews students who did an awesome job recreating a cover of Wolf Alice‘s “Moaning Lisa Smile”! After an afternoon of recording, I spent the night mixing and mastering the song to get it ready for the music video.
Kate Andrews students planned, directed, and filmed all the BTS video. Such a fun group to work with, we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!
