The Deep Eynde - Save Your Own (Pt 1)
Local LA Goth/Rock Band, The Deep Eynde, contacted me to do a music video for them. Originally it was supposed to be a typical "Film the band looking & playing very cool" type video, but I insisted on having a narrative story.
I devised a story based on the music and lyrics of the 2 songs they gave me: "Save Your Own" & "The Haunting", and the fact that the songwriter said "The Haunting" was based on a guy doing a seance to bring back the spirit of his dead girlfriend.
From that I created the prequel story in "Save Your Own" to show a relationship and how his girlfriend dies, and then made "The Haunting", the sequel, to show how she gets resurrected.

Tokyo Lights - music by RJD2 - Chicken Bone Circuit
Remix video for RJD2- Chicken Bone Circuit
When I think of Tokyo, what I remember most are the lights- the neons, the street lights, the billboards, the advertisements, the signs, the cars, etc. the city survives off these artificial lights, but when night breaks, like every other place in the world, it goes back to surviving off the most original form of light... daylight.
This was for my video editing class while in
Tokyo, Japan. I decided make a Music video for a song which had no video, and to document the beautiful city I called home for 4 months.
