DZ Deathrays "Cops Capacity" Directed by Adam Hayes
We've always wanted to do a piece on anthropomorphic K9 Police Officers, so when DZ Deathrays approached us with their new track; 'Cops Capacity', we jumped at the chance.
A unique documentary style was developed due to having a minimal budget. It allowed the tiny crew to capture high-energy shots, resulting in a unique tongue-in-cheek docu-style video. Shooting the video on the streets of NYC added an epic look.

Ghost King "Melting Sky" Directed by Zachary Scott 
This video was a blast to make! Ghost King is based out of New York. It was the first long distance preproduction project I've directed. Carter the front man of the band grew up in Austin, and given the timing of the record release we new could shoot it around Thanks Giving for two days when he was in town. We ended up shooting at his parents house. The concept of a bunch of friends sitting around a table and evoking the dark spirit of the "Ghost King" came from Carter and I's love for B horror films. We knew it was going to be a bloody good time! 

Protextor "Heatstroke" Directed by John Valley 
This video was plotted out over the course of a year because we REALLY didn't want a misfire on this one. It's about being white and watching the wave of police corruption and brutality wash over people of color. 

Whiskey Shivers "Cluck Ol' Hen" Directed by John Valley 
This is my second collaboration with the band. The creature required about five hours of prep and then we shot with him for another 12 hours. He (John Orr) was a peach to work with. in order to keep the sweat consistent in the room we had to shoot without the AC on. 

Jesse and the Dandelions "Brother" Directed by Ramin Eshraghi-Yazdi 
The song Brother is about not recognizing one’s self. My thought went to the possible physical change in appearance that might occur after a traumatic event and how that could be represented in an engaging way.   

Beyond Contempt "Salt" Directed by Darus Noel Howard 
An animated bleak representation of the modern trends, values, and psyche of the age we live in.
Salt is intended to be a stark yet tongue in cheek jab at the feud between extremists of the left and right, and a knee jerk reaction to a toxic culture of naming and shaming for moral superiority.

Go Fever "Folk Zero" Directed by Zachary Scott 
Acey Monaro the front woman of Go Fever is a badass! When I met with her and her husband Ben Burdick(also a badass) to discuss collaborating on a music video, I knew after five minutes we would make something super rad! The idea of a woman living out of her car getting wasted all the time, came from a conversation I had with Acey when she told me about the first time she smoked weed as a kid in her native land of Australia. Plus we both love X-files. The more we talked and had a few, the idea of a doppelgänger popped up and battling your own demons. We mushed them together and there you go.

COMME DE BIEN ENTENDU "The Rififi" Directed by Alain ROBAK  
Le Rififi (a slang french word which means « fight ») is taken from the soundtrack of a 1956 french movie "Du Rififi Chez les Hommes" (in english : Rififi... means trouble). It’s a "film noir" directed by Jules Dassin.
Our clip is a tribute to the french fifties’ thrillers.
It is also a tribute to those actors who like so much to die in front of a camera and to all those directors who have no money to make their movies.
