a few visuals from the gig/music video being edited as I write this...

Real Estate and Air Waves at La Fleche d'or

When New Jersians and Brooklyners Real Estate (Woodsist, Underwater Peoples) and Air Waves (Underwater Peoples Records, 1928 Recordings) came on tour in France, the two bands interviewed each other at the Fleche D'Or in Paris.

Showreel

This is an edit I did for my showreel, cut to a song I absolutely love from Beach House - 'Silver Soul'.
It includes all the music videos that I directed and co-directed in the past 3 years.

Theoretical Girl 'The Hypocrite'

This is another music video we made for such a tiny budget.

It's for Theoretical Girl with XL recordings and was shot on a Panasonic HVX200.

Kaleidoscope!

Life of Tights

Surprise, surprise, it's been a long while stuck in my hard drive but here it finally is Mlle Barth and Mme Cohen-Tanugi...
I think however that this is one of the first edits - oh well, there's music.
Enjoy mesdames!

Just a note: this is, I must explain, just something we did for fun, our first experiment with stop motion... hmmm

This video was produced with thanks to Partizan, London and was directed by Clare Brooks and Carys Lavin, edited by Daniel Trachtenberg.
It was an extremely low-budget production and was shot in a basement, on DV with a Sony PD150.
This was my first music video as a director.
