OK kids, settle in. Gramps is going to go on for a bit.
Back in 2016, I went to Keith’s book signing at Dimple Records (R.I.P.) and asked if I could video their show at the Boardwalk that night. He referred me to the “documentary guys”. So I get to the club and find out that they are filming a mockumentary about OFF!, called Watermelon. At first, the crew was all “we think we have this handled. what kind of gear do you have”. I opened my camera backpack and they stared at the crazy guy with all this high end (at the time) gear. I got permission to film, provided that I hand them the footage for the movie. I sent it over to them in late 2016.
7 years go by and OFF! releases the Free LSD movie and breaks up. I assume that this is what the mockumentary became and that Watermelon was never going to be released. So I email the producer and no… they are still planning to release Watermelon and Free LSD was a different project entirely. They ask that I continue to hold back the footage, but I can post a few songs if I’d like.
So that brings us to today. Dean Crist asked for this one and Derek Clark was interested as well. This was back when I could pole mount cameras at the Boardwalk, haha. Anyway, the full show exists and I should be able to share once the movie is released.
Recorded by: Shayne Stacy
Equipment used: I don’t remember all of it, but it definitely used Canon HF G30 and maybe a G50, along with gopro Hero 4 silver.
Audio was probably a matrix of the Rode Videomic Pro Stereo and soundboard
