Red Light Bulb Makes Huge Difference in Basement You Tube Video

Catapult’s seven-minute jam video, filmed for YouTube in drummer Rob J. Garnet’s basement, was transformed by the judicious placement of a table lamp with a red light bulb in it, say all three Catapult band members. The video features piled boxes, half-empty paint buckets, old bicycles, a non-functioning TV from the 80s, and the three Catapult members in Bermuda shorts improvising a seven-minute instrumental song called “Untitled Song” from a planned EP titled “EP.” The video, uploaded earlier this week, was not quite up to the band’s standards. Then, suddenly, Garnet came up with the concept of lighting the dark basement with a light bulb, perhaps a blue or red one. One trip to Canadian Tire later, the filming resumed. The “ambience” of a red light bulb added “that special something,” band members agreed. Catapult hopes soon to begin work on their second video, in Garnet’s basement, for the instrumental composition called “Second Untitled Song.”
