For the second music video I directed for the pastiche-y, dancepop duo Greatest Hits, I took the pair into outer space where through the magic of green-screen I put them into contact with some sexy aliens.
For my first project with tech company DJI, I was asked to come up with an interactive booth for Barclay’s Center. In the renders I pitched, I wanted to showcase unexpected curves and clean lines, a vision of the future that reflected the aerial nature of the company’s products. I think the final product stuck pretty close to my imagination.
For my first independent job ever I teamed up with an editor at the Production Company I was working at to pitch a denim repair company on doing an animation to showcase their company’s services. When you work with friends it hardly feels like you’re working, and that was a great early lesson I learned from this project.
One of the many music videos I made with my one time mentor Lenny Tso. This one stands out because it was, without a doubt, one of the worst shoots of my entire life. My day started at 5 am and ended at 7 am the next day—that’s what we call a music video, folks! But you keep doing those videos because that’s when you really get to be wild and creative and part of that experience is working on a shoestring budget for impossible hours, and literally pushing your physical and mental abilities to the limit. Forget ironman, try doing a rap video for a real challenge.
