None Other - The NEW Video


After months of preparation, planning, filming and editing, the brand new video featuring Clint Wiley's None Other (www.noneother.com) is done!

The "birthing process" for a project like this would, for most, be a daunting prospect but the drive and determination of two exceptional professionals in particular made this happen. Band leader Clint Wiley's musical vision "None Other", perhaps the most popular corporate, wedding and special event band in the south eastern United States, was captured on film by videographer Rob Epple and his team at AMC Video (www.amcvideo.com).

The stage was set, the band and dancers were ready and the cameras began rolling on a stage in downtown Naples sometime mid-September. The band rolled through at least two dozen of their most popular songs, some as the tight six piece band that you will often see performing at high-end weddings in the region and others as the "mega band", totaling fifteen performers on stage! In the end, after two days of performing, there were hours of footage to review.

The editing process began in earnest just a few days after the initial two-day shoot. With five cameras filming the band, the sheer volume of material to wade through and cull down to an eight minute promo piece was immense.

For both Clint and Rob, this was actually a labor of love. Taking a concept and molding all the pieces in to what we have to show today was very arduous but satisfying. There were numerous edits and re-edits, picking just the right song sequences, in the end arriving at a product with which all could feel very proud.

So now it is your turn to be the judge...check out the video at www.vimeo.com/channels/noneother.

From start to finish, the process took about six months. As Clint and Rob closed out the final file on the entire process, Rob turned to Clint and says, "You know, we should shoot the next video..."
