Music Video: These Lights

This is the first-released official music video I have ever shot. Really happy with the way things turned out. Director, Aaron Chewning, and I had a blast producing it for The Less.

Aaron came up with the concept of fans carrying lamps to a impromptu concert. We had to solve a couple of challenges in the process, the main one being how do to power the lamps. I devised a system to use 12v DC halogen bulbs wired to batteries that attached to their belt loops. And in creating battery-powered light source close to the actors, it gave us a tremendous amount of freedom to move quickly and frame the shots how we wanted them. We got off 30 or so shots, in 4 locations across Atlanta, all in less than 10 hours and we never really felt too rushed.

Not too bad for something funded by Kickstarter.
