It’s here! The music video I directed for @nofuckingmen and their new single, “Sucker”. So proud of how this all turned out, and I could not have done it without my amazing crew. I’ve directed quite a few music videos basically on my own, with a very DIY ethos, so it was surreal to actually have a full crew and everything donating their time to this. Thanks to @smilefart_ for being the best producer ever, @cyber_witch for AD’ing, @kevinveselka for operating camera, coloring, and performing co-cinematography duties, @joekosty for lighting the hell out of it, @jour.dai for assisting on camera, @slikk @itdae @_j.r.d.n_ for making the production design, props, costumes and sets all pop, @cutiekittyyyy for being the best and most enthusiastic PA I could ever ask for, and @vamstudioofficial for being behind me and providing such great resources to the production #musicvideo #cinematography #cinematographer #cinematographers #filmmaker #filmmakers #director #filmdirectors #bts #behindthescenes #horror #horrorfilm #horrorfilms #giallo #western #neon #neonnoir #anamorphic #kowa #helios #helios44_2 #helios44 #blackmagic #blackmagicdesign #blackmagicursa #ursaminipro #ursa

Another still from my video for No Men’s “Sucker” because I’m so fucking proud of it. We shot this on an Ursa Mini with one lens: an ancient, fungus-ridden USSR-era anamorphic setup (East German anamorphic projector lens with a Helios 44-2 as a taking lens).

New music video I shot for @edwindays and Director @_j.r.d.n_ produced by @vamstudioofficial out now! Was so cool working in a more experimental/abstract mode for this one. Jordan had such a thoughtful yet slick concept for this one and I’m so glad I could be a part of it! . . . #cinematography #cinematographer #filmmaker #filmmaking #filmmakers #electro #pop #edm #queer #chicagofilm #chicagofilmmaker #canon #panasonic #lumix #gh5

Crown Larks - "Chapels" music video premiere

September 15, 2015

By far one of the best music videos I've had the pleasure of working on. Director Emily Esperanza absolutely killed it.
