Jeff Venable has seen it all.  He's directed commercials and music videos for Chase Rice, Tyler Farr and Third Day.

Then along came Jake Owen.

One of the things that surprised director Jeff Venable about making Jake Owen‘s “Real Life” video was the crane kick.

“His dancing just kind of came out of nowhere,” Venable told me about the video shoot. “When we were doing the Beastie Boys fisheye lens thing in the store, I told him to have big energy. Then he went straight into some big, big dance moves. Those were unexpected but hilarious.”

Then in the “Real Life” pickup truck scene, there’s that iconic Karate Kid moment when Owen throws it way, way back to the very last scene of the 1984 movie.

Sounds like it was a fun day of filming!
