Scoring a nod from the CMA for 'Best Video of the Year,' this spunky, comedic music video for Lady Antebellum's hit single, 'Downtown,' directed by Peter Zavadil (Taillight/Nashville) shows the fun side of lead singer Hillary Scott and her bandmates.
The video for the lead single from the band's album, 'Golden,' also showcases the divserse story-telling skills of Zavadil, who already has two consecutive CMA 'Video of the Year Awards' to his credit (for the whimsical Sara Evans piece “Born To Fly” and Brad Paisley’s comedic clip, “I’m Gonna Miss Her” (The Fishing Song.)
Little Big Town's song, ’Tornado,’ takes a scorned lover’s desire for revenge and retribution to the extreme with lyrics that paint a dark tale of payback. The foreboding track flooded director Shane Drake's imagination with imagery - and the storyline for the video began to take shape.
There's a cool technique at play in this video for country crossover act Lady Antebellum in which 2D projection screens and deft camerawork create a sense of 3D.
