"Shine on Me" is a song by Chris Dane Owens (son of Laugh In announcer Gary Owens) from his album Blue Stone. An 80s love song made in 2008, under most circumstances it would just be thrown in the Guilty Pleasures pile without another look. But that was before Owens, armed with a budget that he's too embarrassed to admit, footage from other movies, a green screen, Robert Short and a Porn Stache, created an incomprehensible mess of a music video jammed with as many over-the-top fantasy cliches as possible.And by "fantasy cliches", we mean all the evil sirens, dragons, assorted swashbuckling, stallions, fair maidens, floating fair maidens, glowing books, ghosts, goths, an electric guitar, sculpted body armour, sculpted body armor nipples, explosions, pirate ships, exploding pirate ships, a Legolas lookalike, a Dr. Doom lookalike, witches, hot witches in catsuits, spinning crystals, dragons, Stonehenge, awful bluescreen effects and an alligator. ... well, by now it's safe to say it's made of pure awesome. And cheese.Was Cracked.com's #1 for the "6 Worst Professional Music Video" (of course Swaim ends up saying "Who am I kidding, this video is fucking amazing" at the end) and won The New Yorker's "Video Of The Year" award.It can be watched here.Compare with its full-length feature film, Empire Queen: The Golden Age of Magic, released on January 25, 2024.

comment
All There in the Manual: My character is part of the witches' kingdom, which is the second kingdom. I'm actually part of their army and an enforcer, a general, if you will. I meet that young lady Arra who is secretly being trained by the angels and they hand her a book. That book is the book of golden symbols which can only be understood by the spirit, by the living soul. She's being trained secretly to be the queen of this realm, to overthrow the forces of darkness. My character actually meets her and falls in love with her and decides to leave the dark side, so he has an epiphany. He happily explains the video and the sequel here. The way he talks about it, it almost makes sense.

Weather Manipulation: The way the music video is edited, it appears the three witches join their wands to cast a spell, and, in the next scenes, a storm rages on the sea, sinks Chris Dane Owens's character's ship and he drowns.

Fantastic Fireworks: Earlier in the music video, fireworks explode in the night sky, and Owens and Arra are dancing together. At the end of the video, both are sailing away from a port, and one of the angels/fairies blows some magic from her hands and another set of fireworks appears.
