Time of the signs, mess with your mind! Here's Dave setting up for the Dont Get Around Much video clip.
Massive thanks to Charlie, Jeff (Brad Pitt? you'll have to ask Jeff why LOL), Dave and the lads at Boylan Traffic Solutions who helped us out with our first video clip for Nuevo Retro. Read on for some pics and vids from the day of the shoot.

Gratuitous Product Placement! They deserve it after the help the boys gave us. Cheers lads!
This was the first clip that came together, thanks to Charlie and the boys.
Now none of this is going to make sense until you see the finished product, but thats going to take a few days of editing yet so be patient...
We started with an idea for the song of following in the footsteps of Bob Dylans Subterranean Homesick Blues, but wondered what Dylan would do if he was making the clip today.
Who needs placards when you have the latest Vermac Variable Messaging Signs! Vive Quebec!
Brad...I mean Jeff... positioning the Signs.
Once again, we are only able to do this sort of thing because of the selflessness and willingness of people to help out.
Here's Dion on camera trying to figure out how to get the shot.
More Height! I must have a higher angle! Call the crane! What do you mean we don't have a crane? But wait!
Charlie, Pat and Alan wait as Dion gets the shot. Dion knows no fear in pursuit of the right shot!

The master shot!

Mr De Mille, I am ready for my close up
With any luck, we'll have the clip up during the coming week - which is good as the album should be finished mastering by the end of next week!
Meanwhile I'll leave it to your imagintation as to how on earth all this stuff comes together!
