My videos explore idealized stories across time and abstraction, exentuating small micro-nuances by merging music and concept together to evoke reflection, feeling, humor, and wonder. I invite you to experience these created shorts as if they are trailers to a broader film.
My creative process is detailed for each video as the concepts developed and/or directions shifted in the storyline, but in the end the final interpretation is up to you.
An unsuspecting chameleon in the jungle is intruded upon by a documentary film crew, they observe and narrate over the chameleon's every move over many takes, without it's approval, until the chameleon has had enough of all the cheeky, embarrassing, and condescending comments the narrator makes. Things take a fitting "change" as the chameleon gets it's revenge and captures the narrator.
Inspiration for this video began with a generated image of a wooden floor that almost seemed to hold something illuminating underneath it.
I started to imagine of what could be contained underneath, envisioning something either beautiful or disastrous.
As I imagined how the video could progress, It became reminiscent to me of scenes from the movie Oppenheimer; flashes of sparks and explosions as things were developing in the movie. A unique arrangement I tried to emulate.
When I began to think of what song that could compliment the ambience that came across, I immediately thought of Easy by Son Lux. This is where the Saxophone quickly took center stage, it became a natural tribute to the instrument that means so much to me.
A world where reality and abstraction meet for a moment.
