George Zelaya – Music Video

Happy holidays ya’ll! I can’t believe we’re so close to closing out 2011. It’s been a helluva year and I’m super pumped for the next.

Last year around this time, I started shooting video. I never knew what that would turn into. I’ve always thought of myself as a photographer but as time went on, I felt more and more comfortable in my video shoes (which are usually Vans). The video below is truly some of my best work. I put a lot of time into it. There was a lot of planning, shooting, editing and I really feel like I found the pace that I like to work at. The main goal here was to tell a story. The song tells a story and we wanted to make sure the video didn’t fall short of that.

This video was made with the help of a lot people donating their time and we appreciate that. I want to thank George Zelaya for being fun to work with and trusting my direction, Melyssa Payopay for looking great on camera and being able to switch into “bitch mode” in a timely fashion, Janny for keeping George on his toes, Club Citrus for the bar scene, the owner of Citrus for the Caddy, Nick Thompson for assisting me, George’s friend who gave us rooftop access for the performance scenes and all of you who are going to watch this and help us push it out to the world.

Enjoy this video and be sure to download his whole album for free here. As always, if you have feedback, drop a comment. That’s the only way I can keep improving my craft. Happy holidays!
