“A.A.” - ASSISTANT EDITOR

PROJECT: A.A

I WORKED WITH THE DIRECTOR/EDITOR TO COMPILE ALL FOOTAGE, SELECTING THE BEST MOMENTS FROM A WIDE RANGE OF PERFORMANCES AND CUTTING THEM DOWN TO A FEW KEY MINUTES.

PROJECT: VALLEY GIRL MUSIC VIDEO

CLIENT: DUSTY DURSTON

“VALLEY GIRLS” WAS SHOT OVER A QUINTESSENTIALLY HOT AND STEAMY LA SUMMER IN LA, A PLACE AND TIME THAT THE ARTIST AND I SHARE A DEEP LOVE FOR. THERE IS MAGIC IN LA IN THE SUMMER AND WE WANTED TO SHOWCASE THAT. I WORKED AS THE ON-SET PRODUCER ALONGSIDE THE ARTIST AND A SMALL & SCRAPPY TEAM OVER A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO SHOOT AND EDIT HOURS OF FOOTAGE, CAPTURING A FEW SPECIAL MOMENTS OF THE UP-AND-COMING ARTIST IN HIS FAVORITE CITY. I THEN BLENDED THE FOOTAGE WITH VFX TO CREATE THE FEELING OF THAT MAGIC VISUALLY.
