I’ve always enjoyed editing video to music and I actually start a lot of my video projects with the music first. I love making music videos, but I’ve never really had the chance to make one for a serious group of musicians.
Some of my good friends started a band a few years back and I recently got the chance to make a video for them. We shot it in just a few hours with a large cast, so it was mostly improvised. For future music videos I plan to spend more pre-production time planning shots and to schedule longer shoots, but I feel that my improv approach worked well for this project.
