Will Smith Medley

I’m a bit promiscuous when it comes to collectives. Besides Meridian, I also work with another group called Goddamn Cobras. We make videos. Lots of them. Our latest is a music video for Brooklyn-based Pearl and the Beard and their whimsical Will Smith medley. One day last month we rambled through my neighborhood and shot anywhere we were inspired. Because of time constraints, we only shot about an hour worth of footage and had slightly more than a month to edit a video before Pearl and the Beard went on tour. This is a product of five Saturdays in a row spent in Ian’s room with a borrowed computer.

I actually got some instruction from the lovely Ian Parker and put my photo editing skills to use and worked on the color correcting aspect. The lighting in the church was any editor’s nightmare but we got it looking rather lovely, if I do say so myself. Hurray for skills crossing over to other mediums!
