When director Nick Moore approached me to be the editor of his latest and highly stylistic music video, I was ecstatic. The two of us, along with cinematographer Brian Loewe, developed a style that was uniquely “rough around the edges”, giving the audience an overwhelming feeling of being “a little too drunk”. We pulled back from the polish of our usual work together to lean into fast editing, warped pictures and match cutting.
For several weeks leading up to the shoot the director and I tested several styles for our vocals potion of the clip. We decided to emulate a digital version of a SnorriCam. We achieved this through careful camera tracking designed to allow us to manually track the singers face through a tool named Mocha. This along with some edge warping and displacement mapping created a unique and dizzying vibe to those clips (along with lots of intercutting). The whole crew loves this clip and we think this music video is a signpost of more creative experimentation in the future.
Blaq Carrie’s New Official Music Video Launches
Recently I was the editor for the new music video clip Sendereka and I was excited to see it launch online yesterday through the Australian hip-hop AUD’$ Facebook page.
The production was a visual feast of lens flare and amazing choreography, filmed on location in RedCliffe and editing in our Brisbane studio. We worked hard to give the music video a narrative direction while maintaining its dreamlike suspension of dance and basketball.
Special thanks to Brian Loewe and the team at Musemaker for putting this all together and making it look fantastic. You can check out the music video on Blaq Carrie’s YouTube Channel or over on the facebook page.

A long while ago I was asked to come onboard a very awesome music video project as editor and visual effects artist for Brisbane based band The Con and the Liar.
The music video was headed by a very talented team with Harrison Norris directing and Brian Loewe as cinematographer.
The clip was was very awesome with a string of wire stunts and pyrotechnics, mixed in with an array of wild visual effects. The video was all wrapped nicely into a toungue-in-check stylistic atmosphere which gave it a great overall tone.
the clip is due to release soon, however it has already started making waves with its gold award victory for cinematographer Brian Loewe taking home the highest achievement from the Australian Cinematography Society.
So lookout for the video hitting the web in the near future!
Oceans to Geneva Music Video Launch
A few weeks ago I was invited to collaborate with the Brisbane based Oceans To Geneva team in crafting their post-production for their first EP launch music video. The team came up with some fantastic visuals supported by some strong band performances and it all came together in a stunning music video.
While a relatively simple soundstage setup, DP Nick Moore managed to form intricate setups and together with the fast pace editing style and stunning colour work by the talented Jake Ryan, the team created a video and style that the band was excited to see go live.
The Oceans crew utilises high quality socially targeted videos to promote themselves locally and state-wide. Now with more than 10,000 views, you can checkout their new video below:
