This summer was filled with music videos and food carts! From BobKat Duo, Darkswoon, O.H. Moon to Troutdale Station and Fuego All Day. What a great reboot for ION WRAY MEDIA after a major surgery in January, and a reconfiguring of my energy going into summer. But we did it!
Let’s get into it! If you haven’t checked out our Darkswoon, Year of the Rat video, please enjoy here… where you can also read about our projection mapping, camera technique and story development. We are so grateful to have received a “best of 2022” from Post-Punk.com for this music video, what an honor!
Another big music video project this summer was for Arching Dog Production‘s artist, O.H. Moon. The talent had a pretty big concept that needed to be worked into a manageable budget and production, and in record time for the label. I was up for the task even while still in recovery, but only because I knew I had formed an amazing team with Sean Conley as DP, Logan Reynolds of Pancake Grip & Electric for lights, William Tang our AC, Linda Wong on HMU, Claire Sapone as AD, Emily Joy for Art Direction and really the entire crew and actor Aaron Groben really showed up.
For the O.H. Moon video we were determined to make an unforgettable “meet cute” and kismet utilizing the song title “Pie & Tea”. What an adorable story O.H. Moon dreamed up, all set in golden hour and all shot in one day. Designed to be marketed through Spotify Canvas, check out these shorts of O.H. Moon’s, Pie & Tea below!
“Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.” … ‘Especially when you’re simulating permanent golden hour!’
