When I think about art I think of the space surrounding the work not just the piece its self a painting use of color is emphasized with the furniture or decor complimenting it

One of my favorite videos I ever produced was called Knew Better by my friend GoneToHeaven

At the time I had only known GTH for about a year we met through my girlfriend, I filmed his performance at the venue S.O.B’s and we would work on one other video before knew better that we filmed in Hawaii called Samo.

 I was trying to find my style in film making i consistently relied on the use of high-8 cameras for a nostalgic feel, of course this was before everyone started going crazy for the VHS look.

The video was heavily inspired by Andy Warhol’s double screen movie “Chelsea Girls” the framing and use of color I don’t think I’ve been as inspired by a film other than Chungking Express.

I storyboarded the video to help get specific shots I thought would help tell the story in the song I bought lights and fabrics for the set that didn’t take place on my friends roof enlisted the help of my female friends to play as the muse of the protagonist in video.

The video was filmed On a Canon EOS 5D mark III with a DJI Ronin 3 axis gimbal and a Samsung SCL860 HI8 camera, at the time did not own a camera of my own the 5D and gimbal belonged to my mentor VCMTTT and the hi8 camera was my girlfriends the lights I used were a combiniation of solid colored bulbs like red orange green and purple and Phillips HUE lights for the scenes on the roof, a mutual friend of GTH n me cavemitch helped with the styling of GTH. 

The video truly felt like lightning in a bottle for me,
