my new blog: music video insomnia

In my spare time (read: this happens rarely) , I like to shoot music videos. you might ask: "well, how the hell is this different from your dayjob" and you´d be suprised to know that, although the basic process is kind of the same, having complete creative control over the final product can be a cathartic experience.

Since I will not bog down this blog with the nitty-critty details on the run-up, production and postproduction of these videos, I decided to to publish another blog, focused on my music video insomnia. Enjoy.

Gearing up to shoot a new music video over the weekend. Take a look at some of the sets. This is going to be a lot of fun. Any resemblance to the cinematographic style of David Fincher are, of course, totally coincidental.

dark skies.

Go ahead and activate the native b&w mode of your camera for a day and limit yourself to b&w-shooting. forget about color. focus on composition and contrast. sometimes less can be more.

done the evening of 02/02/10.

Chubby Fish. Seriously

there´s more to this. stay tuned.
