Hey guys,

We're going to be shooting a music video next weekend and it is essentially going to be a band performance video. The band on record is me, Rick, and our drummer Paul Higgins. In addition to playing all the guitars, I played the bass on the record which leads me to my question...

Should I have a friend stand-in as a bass player in the video just to round out the visual? Or should I have Rick (vocals) play the bass for the video (he's a good guitarist but he doesn't really play much bass...trying to play bass in the video could inhibit his overall performance energy in the video). Or, should we just play as a three piece without a bass player at all for the video since we were the only ones playing on the CD? Of course the audio for the video will be right off the CD so everyone would be hearing the bass for the video along with keyboards. Perhaps we need to project a hologram of Eric Ragno. Now where is that old Artoo unit..."Help us Obi Wan Ragno...You're our only hope!" ;-)

So, what are your thoughts? It probably doesn't matter much what we do but I'm open for some opinions. :)

Thanks guys!
Paul
