The Process

One of the things that I love about filmmaking is the process of bringing something that only exists in my mind into reality. This project that I did for Chris Taylor is a perfect example of that. From the conception to the completion the whole experience only lasted about ten days. Literally a week before there was no thought about the video. From the time he called and asked me come up with something to the day we began construction of the set was three days. Our budget was only $100, spent entirely on sharpie markers, paper and tape. Maybe it was the fact that I didn’t have time to over think it, maybe it was that I only got four hours of sleep during the three night shoot or maybe it was that a week after the call I was cutting together clips of a world that had only been an idea just a few days before. Whatever it was, it reminded me again why I love filmmaking.

Here is a glimpse of the process of creating the world, and the finished project. Enjoy.
