During my internship with The Crossing Studios I enjoyed the most helping in the production of music videos. All of them were done by a small production company called Triton Films. They specialized in finding government funding to produce high quality 35mm video clips for canadian artists. While working for Triton I had the opportunity to learn about many aspects of production including, casting, location scouting, special effects, camera, lighting, etc. Once I gathered enough experience I decided to go and shoot my own music videos. I contacted my friend Brian who had just recorded their first EP and offered to shoot their song "Brown Sox" on video for free. Brian was thrilled and on Feb 8, 2005 I shot the video shown here at NAL studios.
The video was shot on a Canon XL1 and a Sony HC40 in only 3 hours. I borrowed a smoke machine from Triton and my mexican DOP friend Mario volunteered to shoot it. I edited the video in four days using Adobe Premiere PRO.
