"In a perpetual battle with myself to consider what is ostentatious in lighting when shooting music videos, we struck the balance between a documentary-esque observational approach with stylistic moments to celebrate the story. "I knew I wanted there to be a visible presence of light, often not directly interacting with our characters, to play on the idea of not being seen. I worked with gaffer Alex Cullen to design lighting using entirely LED fixtures which helped us move faster, more efficiently, and with a leaner crew." DP Billy Abbott reveals how a custom mirror-ball rig, 400 FPS slow-motion and full-LED lighting shaped the Bailey Lanes music video "Little Bit Brighter" - a tender story of grief, dance and redemption.
