It was hard but it was also a lot of fun. I never really knew what I was supposed to be doing except when I was drumming. Ratko, the director, would say, “Danny, look higher,” and I would, and I guess that was good enough because after that he would say, “excellent.”
We shot for two days at my elementary school, Park View, and I can’t say I had more fun one day than the other. When we wrapped up on the first day, some Park View students saw us filming outside and wandered into the building to see what was going on. They knew a music video was being shot but they didn’t know for what band so I walked passed them and talked about Fall Out Boy. One of the girls gasped with excitement and I thought I saw tears of joy. That made me laugh but she and a bunch of her friends came back the second day to be extras and we took many pictures together.
I was really glad my brother, Adam, and his wife, AKA my favorite sister in law, Liz, stopped by. It was nice to see them. They didn’t want to be in the video and when I said, “Who is going to represent the family?” They said, “you!” A bunch of Adam’s stuff is in the video too, such as the speakers on the side of the stage. So thanks, Adam. Your speakers looked spectacular.
I’ll probably write more about Fantastic Phill, Jule, the DP, and Tommy, Ug. So many people we worked with were so great. I doubt they will ever read this. Oh, Lesile and Jori came, best fans ever!!!!
Cheers,
Danny R
