What an incredible two days. I had the best time and can’t wait to post the music video for you all to see.

Whistle While I Work It – Day 2 (Part I)

Too many photos from Day 2 of Chester See‘s video shoot! Had to split them up.

Look out for Day 2, Part II (coming tomorrow).

Filmed in and around the garage of some good friends after a wedding in Florida.

All credit for the amazing music goes to The Joy Formidable, not me. This video features their song “Cradle” thejoyformidable.com

Shot with a Canon 7D, compiled in AE CS6 to look like Super8 Film.

Whistle While I Work It – Day 1

Some of my production stills from Day 1 for Chester See’s music video “Whistle While I Work it.”

Had a great time working in the art department drawing graffiti, making fake drinks, leaf-blowing people, and poorly operating the fog machine (it was my first time).

The “Paintings” I made for Chester See

Posted by – 05/29/2013

One day, my friend Tim emailed me out of the blue asking “Just curious, do you paint?”

He was looking for someone to paint a ridiculous portrait of Chester See for his upcoming music video shoot. In two days.
Considering the time constraint, I suggested using a trick in Photoshop that manipulates a photograph to simulate the look of a painting.

Nine hours of hand coloring and “painting” later, we had two portraits to feature in the music video.

I also found two (hilariously gaudy) gilded wooden frames on sale at Michaels:

 

Here’s a preview of the portraits on set:

 

More behind the scenes photos coming soon!
