The Drop Anchor music video "Always Tempting Fate" finished up with a few more days of shooting with actor Tony Slade supported by actors Paul Monte, Jennifer Snyder, and about 20 wonderful extras. Shooting locations included an office building in King of Prussia, PA, two different home locations in Lansdale, PA, shooting on a SEPTA train, and running around some empty streets of a quiet Philadelphia suburb.
Funny (and sad) story: You see the glass doors behind actor, Tony Slade in the top photo... We had him panicked and running out of the building towards the camera. The door was initially propped open with a rock but it was visible so we shut the door to have him run through. The downside is that the building is a "secured building" and even exiting the building, the door needs to be pushed at a certain speed. Tony's velocity was to fast and when he went to blast through the door, it didn't budge an inch and Tony suffered a resulting bruise for several weeks after. He healed and is okay but it was really something. In the end, we found something very small to prop the door open with and Tony finished out the day with a wounded shoulder. He's a total pro.
