Vampires In Love... Coming October 31st!

A brief back story to this silly little film we put together-

Before the time of Ipod and Zune, Walkman and Discman was what you had to listen to your favorite music and when Jeffery & I met in high school “mixed tapes” were still a popular thing to make someone you were interested in or dating. So one afternoon [while I was “grounded” I am sure, since 90% of my adolescent years was spent being “grounded.”] I made him a mixed tape which consisted of a bunch of songs that made me think of him. It started with some NIN- Were In This Together Now, Garbage- #1 Crush and Marvelous 3’s, Vampires In Love.

Another thing that was popular between friends and lovers in high school, before everyone had a cell phone and could text message one another was Notebooks you would use to write notes in and then exchange to one another in between classes. Jeffery and I started a notebook and I added a bunch of sentimental quotes and photos [mostly clipped from Rolling Stone, oh yes… Rolling Stone was still relevant back then! ;p ] of things we liked and reminded each other of us in some way. One of the photos I glued in that notebook was the old Ray Ban advertisement of the Vampires wearing sunglasses and laughing in the sunlight. I thought of us and the “Vampires In Love” song when I saw it!

Now some of you might be to young still to remember this commercial that the advertisement was based on so here is a link to it:

Fast forward 10 years to this summer. Jeffery and I were getting ready to go on yet again, another trip out to Vegas, and I had decided it was time for me to get some new shades for the trip! I have always wanted a sweet pair of Ray Ban Sunglasses so I decided this year I was going to get them! When we went, Jeff tried on a pair and liked them as well, so we BOTH got a pair. I right away laughed out loud when I thought about that old notebook we had in high school and the photo I clipped out to glue inside it.

Then I had a silly thought… “Why don’t we do a parody of that Ray Ban Vampire commercial since we both own a pair of Ray Ban’s now and we can have Marvelous 3’s, Vampires In Love, apart of it??!”

Jeff, who tolerates most of my silly ideas, agreed that it would be a fun little project to do, and with the wedding coming up and the “Vampire Ball” theme we are hosting for the reception, we thought we could also use the film to utilize the theater. So we chose to film it in the cemetery that we have been going to for YEARS and where Jeff proposed to me.

So with that and the other films we have planned for before the ceremony, we hope to have a entertaining experience for everyone to enjoy. All the short films are sentimental and full of meaning. We are putting together the videos with a 1920’s era feel to them since the Kenosha Theatre was built in that time. “Vampires In Love” is a preview for the Reception which we have also titled after the song.
