A look into ideation to execution for this music video I shot and colored. Including some sketched out frames (decode my handwriting for bonus content), a shot from the tech reccee, and soem BTS (mostly people reviewing footage because that was the only time my hands were free).

All shots evolved from the initial ideation, some more than others. Neat to see the beginning compared with the final product.

I don't usually visualize every shot out like this. Only ones that are already fully realized in early pre production.
