Project Description

Agency: Freelance
Client: Musician Mike Mentz
Role: Director, Cinematographer, and Producer

I’ve been shooting live multi-camera videos for Mike for years. When we decided to shoot a music video for one of his pre recorded songs – we wanted it to be special. To capture the “life passes you by” thrust of the song I proposed we use a trick to warp time. This entire video (sans the drone shots) is shot as a hyperlapse, time lapse photography shot WHILE the camera moves. Mike was a great sport about holding still or moving super slowly. The day-to-night hyperlapse at the office desk required him to stand at the window for nearly two hours. I’m especially proud of this one.
