22:00PM-2:30AM
the jeruz boys arrived at 10. they spent the night on anat's livingrom floor in sleeping bags.
the entire house was filled with boxes: speakers,
monitors, cables, mics, folding chairs and tables, ropes, food supply, and all the gear
we needed to make this day work.
in 4 hours everything will be spread on our first set
behind the scenes
3:00AM-5:00AM
the alarm clock didn't start.
we thought we were scrued.
loading all the gear on 3 cabs in a record time,
we managed to get to the northern deck
only 10 minutes late. before our first coffee cup,
we started to arrange the set for the
shooting of the first video,
scheduled to 5:30
![]() | ![]() | ![]() singing the partswe all came from the same music school. our best teacher ,ilan salem , taught us to sing the part before playing it. it makes your expression clear and your beat sharp. so here you see us do exactly that | ![]() a poem for the morningscoffee, coffee, coffee, coffee. coffee, coffee, everyone shut up. coffee. |

waking up
5:30AM-7:00AM
recording first session, "port said".
we chose this song to start with, cause of it's
'morning prayer' vibes. we shot 5 takes, it took us some time to wake up and rise with the music.
while playing, we were watching the
port starting to wake up. jogs running,shops
opening, fishermen coming back with their lute.
getting in&out of the shots,
exectly like we imagined
7:00AM-9:30AM
all of us worked fast on clearing the set and moving 150m south, to the shipyard. the sun started to
come out, pants and shirts started to pill off.
first we spread shadow nets over the band's and the soundmen location. then, daniel and amir started wiring the new stage
![]() da manthis is daniel shemer, the mega pro that did the impossible. shemer was the sound engineer of the project, setting up and folding 4 recording sets , calm and professional, he miced us up, set up the the monitoring and made a field recording sound like a studio recording (in a good way). staying cool at the hot july sun and with all the pressure, shemer is definitly one of the hero of this day. | ![]() moshe barashi is the one responsible for most of the beautiful shots you see. he was the only one shooting in all 4 clips | ![]() da managermeet roie hasson - mix master, fellow musician and on this day - our production manager. roie walked around with a green folder making sure the soundman won't start setting up the stage before getting approval from the head of photography; that we will always have food and drink; timing the band to stage and in general making sure all goes according to plan | ![]() don't touch me its julyat 7:30 it was fairly hot, at 8:30 we were sweating like hell. shemer and amir gelman , the sound assistant, are getting signals under a hit attack |

meet the crew
13:30PM-14:30PM
at the hottest hours it was impossible to shoot,
so we planned a break. we had an hour in bed ,and then back to the port. not all of us, though.
chen volunteer to stay and guard the equipment while all of us went back to anat's to take a shower, chill in the ac and regain strength for
the next half of the day.
- man are you sure? - yah no problem, i need to practice my new flute anyway
![]() a guest at the setronen is talya's bff. he came by the set at noon ,mainly to support the team, but on the way took some epic shots | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |

ground sailing
14:30PM-16:30PM
anat and talya spent many nights figuring out the shooting vision for each clip (the fact they are married made it easier). they decided to shoot 'beirut' in a swirling way, using monopod to smoothen the camera movment.
"we wanted it to feel like sailing"
what happened on set realy gave this vision a boost:
one of the workers was making impossible sawing noises.
we couldn't shoot. he was willing to stop only when we offered him some mulla. and then, surprisingly, he generously offered us to shoot the clip inside his blue boat.
so the band spread out on levels, in and out of the boat,
allowing moshe to take some fucking amazing shots running through the ships, behind and around us
16:30PM-18:30PM
what inspired us when planning this clip was a dagnahash video. we loved the shot of a girl in a ruuning bus, looking from the window and seeing the band playing.
in this video, on top of our land crew,
we sent tal's camera for a cruze with the local sea scouts, got a drown camera, and put ourselves as close to the water as we could
