It's Him Music Video


Wrapped up a music video this past weekend for the artist It's Him The Black Hispanic (great name). Shot on the RED with Zeiss Superspeeds at 4k HD. This is my second time working as a DP with the RED and it was a great relief from adaptors and 7D's. It was a pretty crazy day, 5 locations in 12 hours. It was my first time working with a legit steadicam and operator. I have never been a huge fan of the steadicam movement but I will say it grew on me for this video. We shot all exterior and I did have a nice 1.2k PAR HMI which worked really well. I found myself using it pretty much at every spot except the roof.

On a side note, I used to be a big fan of the Ruff Ryders. For those of you who don't know that was DMX and Swizz Beats group (consisted of The Lox, Eve). One of the Ruff Ryders "Drag-On" (also a actor in such fine films as Exit Wounds) made a cameo in on of the performances. Pretty dope.
