Katie Chastain’s Snowshow Video Production Crew. Martha’s Vineyard
One of the few pictures featuring everyone who worked on the video piled into the back of a U-Haul. It costs a lot of money to get cars over onto Martha’s Vineyard, so we rented a truck and hauled everyone around in the back. This is the night before the shoot after a great dinner at Tom & Julie’s house. After this weekend I realized again that working with friends is amazing. Especially when they are as talented as this bunch!
And if you’ve never seen Slava’s Snowshow, which inspired Katie’s song and this video shoot, let me highly highly HIGHLY recommend it to you!

Katie Chastain, Snowshow
Here’s the video I directed for Katie’s song Snowshow. We worked with 18 friends and shot the entire thing in one day in a converted barn on Martha’s Vineyard. Katie and I came up with the life-sized diorama idea as a way to do a single-shot video which wouldn’t require editing.
Just off-camera is a crazy jumble of controlled chaos as our friends operated the diorama. Click here to see the “making-of” video by Ronen
