Late last night I wrapped a last minute, two day music video. I was the Key Grip and I had a limited crew and budget. With a Fisher dolly on board my guys were spread even thinner. Between the location moves, a walk up location, and no money we all agreed to keep the lighting setups clean and simple. This along with an excellent low light camera, in this case the RED Dragon, are a great approach to shooting a lot of content when the crew and budget are small. Because we went that way we ended up getting some really beautiful footage that I should be able to post in a few of weeks.
The video was directed by Alan Ferguson and the cinematography done by Arthur Jaffa. Both seasoned veterans in the industry. The catchy song and video introduced Jidenna, a talented up and coming Afro Pop artist whose career Im looking forward to seeing.
The hours were long and the weather extremely cold but the crew was great and I believe the video will come out well.
