@kesthebandofficial had the idea to be out in the country side telling some friends (@r_wilky & @emstarmusix) the story of his time in the party while he’s liming on the side of the road, and I just love the way this scene sets up the whole video, and the performance shot is this really dynamic theatrical thing that any time we cut back to it there is something interesting and different going on.

In this part I break down the cinematography of the vid and some of the decision making before hand both creatively and technically that led to the final product.

Let me know what you think or if you have any questions! 

Shoutout @riyalitystudio & @jono.hirst for the epic bts footage 🎥🎞️✨
