We made a music video in Brooklyn this weekend and we had the baby with us.
She was really amazing; she didn't take any real naps but didn't complain either.
The only obstacle that we faced was how to feed her once I was trapped in a plexiglass cubicle.
We loved the idea of having us both playing in these enclosed boxes while balls filled up around us. Only, once we were in them, we couldn't get out for hours.
Breastpump to the rescue! I literally looked like an art installation on modern day maternity. I had to stop the shoot and have my pump handed to me through the roof of the box. Then, I sat in there pumping away until I had a whole bottle of milk to pass back over the box so my sister could give it to June.
I think I introduced a bunch of guys/indie-filmakers to the art of human breast milk expressing. And, I'm pretty sure that has never happened while filming a music video before.
(Also, the shoot was filmed at space occupied by a great team of fashion creators who call themselves The Love Brigade. We got to wear their stylings. They might have seen my breasts 10 times that day and they didn't even flinch. )
