Spent a week in Nashville with @invent_animate and we did an insane amount of work in 4 days. People might say we’re crazy, and they’d be right.

First of many videos, ‘Elysium’ is out now! Let it soak into your eyeballs.

Also found a way to squeeze in some promos. Band is cool, song is good.

I know I’m behind on posting about a lot of recent work but I’m working on that.

Still surreal to say that I got to shoot a video for @augustburnsred. I remember trying to learn Composure on guitar in highschool haha full circle moment. Music is amazing.

What’s even more crazy is pulling this shoot off in a single day with so many moving pieces with just a 4 person video crew. (With help from the dope people at @pyrotekfx) and a very modest camera and lighting rig.

I had cars towed from a junkyard, set everything on fire, gathered around 40ish extras from around the country, smoked the HELL out of the studio with a wall of sparks, and almost burned all of us alive with fire canons. Simple ideas, done right. You just can’t beat it sometimes.

Can’t thank the band, my @sharptonerecs family, @directedbyak & @_realmc enough for making this thing happen with me.

Huge shout out to all the extras for being so cool and down to do it all in such a short amount of time. I’ll remember this shoot for the rest of my life. Thank you.

New stuff for @156silence and their single ‘Swept From Under (Call Of The Void)’

Had a memory card get fried to death, swam in way to cold un-chlorinated pool water, shot outside in a heat wave, finally grew up and learned Resolve (with @garrethayes_ wisdom and guidance) and had a great time.

Shout out to the team and the band for being cool dope people ❤️ thanks for everything.

My sweet Capo. There’s nothing that can ever prepare you for the news that you have to say goodbye. Hug your pets and never take any moment for granted. I’ll love you forever Mister. I’m so sorry. by @thevagrantkey

When you see a friend that needs a little assistance during the set, you hop in no hesitation. The dudes in @currents been tearing it up. Myrtle Beach tonight.

Late on posting for this rig because I do too many things all at once, all the time. But stoked on this shoot for my friends in @erraband. Came together super last minute and after a bunch of FaceTime calls and meetings we pulled together just a sick and chaotic performance video with the most expensive light rig I think I’ve ever shot haha

All vibes. Thats the treatment. Hope you guys liked this one, it’s one of my favorites!

Shout out as always @directedbyak for helping me bring the vision to life, and the band for trusting me to make it happen and helping get all the pieces in place for this shoot. Stoked to get the chance to be apart of this release. Bands great, records great, and they’re even better people. Thank you 🙏

Another one for the @lmtf camp! Stoked on the texture and mood of this one.

This shoot wasn’t the easiest to set up and get through, even being a fairly simple concept. Sometimes things don’t always go as planned on the day and hanging up mirrors in a warehouse IS NOT EASY haha after 3 shattered mirrors and a ton of hours spent rigging, losing daylight overhead, and needing to pivot, @directedbyak and I made it happen and just started shooting to get it done. Thankfully we pulled it off and got some really cool looking frames. Duo crew 👊 couldn’t have done it without @directedbyak, thanks for being there homie.

Shout out to the band being the best to work with, and the @unfd team for letting me be apart of this album.

Thanks for looking!

New work for @lmtf dropped yesterday. Loved this concept and was stoked to try a back projection scene for some of the performance, stoked on how it looked in camera! Shout out to @lmtf and @unfd for bringing me on board. Band rules. Best dudes.

Shoot held together by @directedbyak and @avasinnx couldn’t have done it without ‘em.
