If at first you don't succeed, try not to do that again. Or something like that.

Enjoy a look into BOTH of our Hallelujah video shoots.

Thanks for all of the hard work! 100% it was worth it!

Fran Giles

So interesting to see behind the scenes! Thank you for sharing 💜

Angie Woollard

Glad you got it the way you wanted it!

Debs Badger

I am in total agreement that the first video was not the thing. The reshoot is definitely the thing. I appreciate you putting yourselves through all that (as well as filming BtS footage). Thank you. 💕

Maria Rydström

Thank you for a wonderful BTS and for the work you have done with this beautyful song and video , and it was nice to revisit the location for Carol of the Bells again witch was the video were i ”discovered” Geoff💕

Sarah Borzelli

Oh boy, SO much work! But you're right, it was worth it, the end product turned out great and it's going strong. I really love the set! But that initial plan with the warehouse, the darker vibe and the real life look would have been just as great...maybe there will be another occasion for that. Thank you for your gift, Kathy and Geoff - business kisses!

Delila Hall

A beautiful video for a beautiful song. Thank you both so much for the hard work. This is one of my favorites.

Manasi Kane

Sorry y’all had to do all the extra work , but the video did turn out lovely ! ❤️ It’s such a beautiful version of the song, the piano and the general vibe of the second shoot suits it so much better ! Thank you for the BTS, as always !

Meg Dailey

$1,000 an hour to stand in a warehouse!! I don't know how much these venues usually charge, but that seems wild and crazy to me. "It'll cost you... a couple signed pictures" is waaaaay more reasonable of an upcharge. And awww Geoff fan intern!!

Happy Leaf

I love these behind the scenes videos! Thank you so much.

Silv E

Aw man, don't you sometimes just want to go back in time and yell at your past self? I know I do...

Melodee Kemp

Sometimes the weather just doesn’t like to cooperate. Lovely song and lovely video.

Cloudy Skies

The second video turned out perfect. I really like the nighttime vibe. "Somber" suits the tone of the vocals. Thanks for all the extra work.

PetraH

Yeah, BTS! They are always so interesting, thanks for taking the time and for sharing. I am sorry for the additional work, but as you said, it was worth it. The video turned out really great and is matching perfectly for the song. Thank you Kathy and Geoff for all your hard work! 🥰

Scott Pearce

2 videos at the same place? At this point Geoff and Kathy should just buy it to save some money 😉

Cloudy Skies

I love how Kathy talks about "the guys...this guy was doing this but those guys were doing that, and the main guy was..." 😄

Emma Yadkin

The extra work, while being a PIA, was worth it. Love the end results.

Gillian Drysdale

if I owned a venue like that I’d let them have it for a Geoff kiss!

Sigrid Verlaan

ohhhhhhhh what a bunch of problems to deal with. I liked the version with the piano from the beginning, the different hight of heads gives it kind of a natural aura. The mirroring of heads in the piano contributed , too. love it! Thanks for the extra mile (or should I say 300?)

Carina Rödebäk

Yhanks for the committment and the hard work to give us the very best performance imaginable.

Janis Carney

Swooning with the harmonies. Beautiful cover of one of my favorite songs - now my new favorite. Thanks for going the extra mile. The sub with the broken line was perfect. Wall to wall chills.

Jeanette Pencz

I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work and effort you put into it to create such amazing magic 🥰🙏🏻 The second shot with the piano was the perfect choice and suits perfectly to the song. I love the BTS so much 🤗

Marie Galaxy

It WAS worth it! What a great video in the end. I love hearing about the process and truly admire your work ethic. You both are just the best!! Thank you once again for an enjoyable BTS. 💜💚

Jordi S

Thank you so much for including us. It was totally worth it to shoot that again.

Mark Armstrong

A beautiful song as usual and, hint to Layne here ( an actual tuned piano ) .

Helen D

Worth the re-shoot for sure. The venue is beautiful just like the music and the video. Love that Geoff had a fan intern. I found out today that Hallalujah was the song my best friend used to sing to her now teen boys when they were tiny. I always share the YouTube link with her when there is a new release from either Geoff or VP and she was really happy to see this one. She, like me thinks it is the best version she has heard. It was her birthday on the 4th so it made her week as well. Thank you for the BTS and all the extra work you both put into getting this one done. :)

Arlene Jacobs

Thanks for all the bts (twice). We appreciate you both!!!

Åse M Bruun Lagnestål

Thanks! You really look into every detail. I think that’s why every video is outstanding. 🥰

Lynn M

Thank you both for your perseverance in making sure this video could be it's best.

Mikki Fullerton

I agree it was worth the reshoot, 2nd video looks so much warmer than the first... good call! Sorry it was all the extra work, tho! The intern's reaction sounds amazingly fun, I love the additional cost for the venue re-rent. 😄

Susana

Hi, Thank you so much for the BTS, I love watching how you both make the videos. Kathy, thank you for your explanations, your details; they are all very interesting for us. And yes, the second video is fabulous, Geoff and his 'brothers' look much better sitting and at the piano. And... there is something important we all want to know: (English isn't my language, so maybe I haven't understood very well.) but... what did you give the owner to be able to film there again?.... kisses from Geoff? haha!

Shirley Patton

The second video was just right! The song, Geoff's arrangement and performance, the ambience - STUNNING!

Christine

Thanks again for the BTS. I enjoy them so much and helps me appreciate even more the commitment you give to each and every one of your wonderful arrangements.

Mikki Fullerton

Also, almost forgot to mention... I think all the fingerprints on your vehicle's back seat window are hilarious, I totally remember those days. And the the X strike-outs inserted into your BTS video were a great touch and made me laugh.

Terri

You did it all for us and we are extremely appreciative!

Suzann Harris

Oh my goodness . . . Just look at what two geniuses can do! So, so well worth all y'all went through!

Talbot

Poor Kathy! Half the work and all the blame. But thank you both for the hard effort, esp these longer BTSes. I can't wait until Halloween. 🎃

Crisstina Joubert

Thank you for another wonderful BTS, always so informative!! Once again, you’ve both proven your instincts are spot on!❤️💐

Zoie McIntyre

Thank you so much Kathy & Geoff - I love these behind the scenes. You folks go through so much just to provide us with such joy. So happy that you thought it was worth it - I think it is an amazing video. Love you both!!

Ilona Dever

The owner needs to include in her tours "and this is where Geoff Castellucci recorded Carol of the Bells", turns around "and this is where he recorded Hallelujah... twice!"

Broken.Warrior

One of the most beautiful and inspiring songs of all time. And of course, you two knocked it out of the park!!! I love these behind the scene videos. It gives one a greater appreciation of the selfless dedication and commitment you two put into your craft. You two are top notch human beings worthy of our utmost admiration. Thank you for being who you are!

Jen

The second shoot was definitely the way to go, I think this gave it a more introspective feel. Very emotional and so beautifully done.

Marna Brown

I couldn't get my mind around just why the 1st one was so bad. I get it now. I guess my world view is black and white, no grays. I keep saying I am learning, but I am not. It's something you are born with. I have been in that mansion! Can't tell you why or when. Could have been one of those years I blacked out of, maybe. Most anyone who could tell me why I might have been there is dead. It might come to me if I could stop bursting into tears as soon as I hear that humming! Miss Kathy this BTS is legendary! I especially liked the ride in the car. It was informative, interesting, sweet and you two are just precious! I can see me trying to literally hurt or maim my husband if I had to spend all day in such a stressful and tedious close proximity with even the weather not cooperating! Grrrrrrrr! However I have gone cross country in the teeny cab of a Frieghtliner with him and we returned relatively undamaged. My hat is off to y'all! The second filming was definetly worth it. Thank you both SO much for all of it, even tho I have yet to watch and listen to it in it's entirety. It's the humming. I just don't know. How long do you think we have to wait for the next masterpiece? Sooon? Or sooooooooon? Love y'all bunches 💕 🥰 🤗

Marna Brown

Y'all know we need to be buying up some venues!!! Holy mackerel we could all retire and still get affordable venues for Geoff's wonderful voice🤣🤣😂😆

Joyce Miller

Thank you for taking us along on the BTS! Love Geoff at the piano!

KorKnot

Your videos are always appreciated; unfortunately this took more work & energy from you to do. Huge hug to you & Kathy for all your efforts.  🤗

Patricia Schuman

I'm even cheaper...all I'd ask for is a personalized ringtone!

Patricia Schuman

I told you Daryl was tired of being taken for granted!

Jim Lake

Your hard work is commendable and produced good results, but I wonder if you were at all tempted just to do a Bare Necessities-style greenscreen gallery from home and be done with it!

Shirli Walker

You both work so hard to get the result you want…… and you have. The video is perfection, absolute perfection. Thank you both for this lovely version of a classic. Not to sound morbid, but I have been searching for a last song for when my time comes, and I have found it. Thank you ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

Katherine Powell

My takeaway from this bts: Luckiest. Intern. Ever.

Ginia (gin-ya)

Thank you for the BTS, Kathy. We appreciate all the hard work you guys put in so much. The end result is truly wonderful.

Susana

Yes, but I understood that when they filmed again, Kathy said that they had given them some extra thing, and so Geoff it was a kiss, and threw kisses 😚 (I insist that I sometimes don't understand everything I listen to).

Debs Badger

That was at the first shoot for the intern. At the reshoot Kathy mentioned giving the owners "something extra special that [the patrons] don't know about yet" (I have my suspicions on what it is) and that's when Geoff joked about it being a kiss.

Ms Molly

Wow. Well, this is a picture of two perfectly suited perfectionists! I hate that you had to go to the extra expense and time of reshooting it, but I think it was probably best that you did it at night for lighting consistency, and we can't argue one bit about the finished product! It is absolutely perfect. Thanks for going through all that for the people who love you! You two are the BEST!

Marie DesJardin

It WAS worth it! You have educated me so much on all the different aspects of filming I never would have considered. Kathy's list of "things we didn't like" shows how much expertise you bring to your videos. Congrats on a gorgeous song with a gorgeous video to back it

Tema Krempley

The reshoot was worth it. Also, we have a miracle! Our first in tune piano on location!
