New Music Video: Ground Patrol - "Migrations" (2021/Art As Catharsis)

This was one of the most challenging but also rewarding projects of my life. I was handed this 25-ish minute piece of music and was tasked with coming up with visuals for it using stock footage only. Holy moly. In all this project ended up taking about 8 months with me starting over again from scratch three months in. I think this will be my last stock footage video. At least for the foreseeable future. But I am very happy and proud of the results. Ground Patrol is made up of two swell guys (one of which I coincidentally moved to within a 10 minute walk from in Brooklyn) that have a lot of great ideas and were wonderful/easy to work with. Check out there other work as well (groundpatrol.bandcamp.com).

New Music Video: Imperial Broads - Control (2021/Broken Stone Records/Remote Control Records)

For the inaugural post on my personal productivity newsfeed, I had the pleasure of working on my second video for the band Imperial Broads out of Sydney/Blue Mountains in the beautiful New South Wales, Australia. It actually debuted back at the beginning of August, but I was busy moving across the big ol’ United States (from Portland to Brooklyn) and am just now finally getting around to updating my website. I did all of the post-production work on this video and was allowed to have my way with the footage of them performing.
