Keith Hudson

After speaking with the client and their needs, I made preparations to produce and shoot this work in Austin. All camera gear was prepped at Echo Park Camera in Los Angeles, and transported via flight to Austin. Lighting gear was sourced from Hack Studios and 2 Brothers Lighting in Texas. After narrowly avoiding the rain the day before, our outdoor set was dry enough for me to rig all lights and begin shooting. The band gave multiple performances across two overnight shoot days. After editing the music video myself, I began prepping the band's YouTube page for the release. Since it's premiere two weeks ago (from the time of this post), their subscriber count went from 9 to over 100, and has garnished 4,500 views. I also put together a "Behind the Scenes" video for their channel, alongside posting their 2019 album, bringing in more total views and engagement. My goal for this music video was not only to create a quality product, but to make this band's work visible for their local fanbase, and the metalheads around the world.

My responsibilities involved maintaining power for video village, the taking of camera notes, slating for scenes/takes, marking positions of actors and cameras. I also aided in camera prep, and provided services for skeleton days and re-shoots.

Maintained video village, transported necessary equipment from location to location, etc.
