Foote, of Medford-based Land Mind Productions, is directing a video that could turn up on MTV some day, or as streaming video on the Internet. The dancers, several dozen Rogue Valley young people, answered a casting call put out by casting director Jeff Tabler. They can expect to be here into the wee hours, Tabler says. Wednesday afternoon is hot in the club, an old pear warehouse in south Medford that s now home to Land Mind. The walls are stuffed with insulation.
Overhead lights shine on the dancers.
Light and sound gear and a trap set crowd a stage where the band is set up at one end of the high-ceilinged room. A camera rolls on a dolly behind the stage, and a video monitor behind a curtain reports the action. Three days of shooting are scheduled to wrap up today. A live concert featuring the band Friday night will be shot as it happens on five cameras and recorded on 16-track audio equipment. They re troopers, doing it for free.
