Helix mainman Brian Vollmer previously issued the following video update below:
"This was the first video shoot we’ve all filmed together since 1989’s 'Dream On'. We decided to try and shoot two videos at the same time, seeing as we had the gear there. The trick was to get a totally different look for the second video.Brent (Doerner) initiated the whole idea of making more videos in the first place. He had already done a homemade video for the song 'Vagabond Bones' (which to date has over 6,000 hits on Youtube) and was chomping at the bit to try another. He enlisted the help of the Conestoga College video department and director Francis Coral Mellon. The last piece of the puzzle was finding a film location.
Jay Wetlaufer-Helix fan extraordinaire-to the rescue! Jay found us a location in Woodstock at the home of Bonnie and Lionel Simard. Thanks so much to Bonnie and Lionel for all their generosity and help. Here are the names of the girls in the video, inncluding Canada's Top Model, Rebecca Hardy: Melissa Clarke, Dana Jensen,Sarah Garrett & Cynthia Perri.
Unlike the '80’s, where there was an obscene amount of money spent on videos, nowadays a lot of artists are getting exposure through homemade films launched on Youtube. Helix is no exception, and we’ve done it with several releases now. John Hockley put together one for
'Fill Your Head With Rock' and over the Christmas season Thane Silliker put a couple together for 'Jingle Bells' and 'Silent Night'.
All of these videos have helped to bring traffic to the Planet Helix website and attention to new releases. Brent has taken Helix videos to a new level by organizing this latest shoot and also taking control over the editing of the footage for 'Monday Morning Meltdown'."
