Favorite moments from the Dauphin Dominic music video PART 2 Some fun facts: ⭐️I wanted to film the green room scene practically so @ratmosss completely emptied my bedroom and painted it. It’s still green. ⭐️We spent a couple hours at the carnival shooting on the rides. I threw up after getting the shot in the music video ⭐️ The guitar solo scene where all the characters play the instruments wasn’t planned - the band thought of it on set and it ended up being one of my favorite bits ⭐️Me, the 1st AC, and producer ended up in the video BAND @rex.pax @rainormckenzie @jian_is_batman @simon__santodomingo CREW Producer: @grassfilmproductions Directors: @3arthtojas , @brianmacdp Cinematographer: @brianmacdp Production Designer: @mossrattt 1st AC: @friend_rogers Gaffer: @sujaykhona Grips: Gene Kim, @bodhi.bryanroig , @cole_rawson_ , @madisonkorenn , Mel, Moya Jaldin, @rileyater Carnival Electric: John Snyder 1st AD: @charliegrass52 MA: Samantha York Editors: Jonah Carter, @brianmacdp Color: Damian Mejia BTS: @sophiaportography LENS RENTAL @dccamerarentals ❤️ CAST Clown: @mjohnson_iles Devil: @morvayjan Businessmen: Abel Barakat, Mikaeel Didar, @cusmustard Lemonade stand kids: Owen Miller Noel, Nina Judson, Louie Lopez Investors: Heather Wilkinson, Damien Campero Car Salesmen: @therealraquisagain Fortune Teller: @maeveessaouira Green Girl: @izzerzz_ Diner Date Couple: @_claycygelman_ , @erin_l_mac Hitchhiker: @whatever.shirt Barbers: Jimmy Wise, Saif Abuargoub Poker Players: @friend_rogers , @charliegrass52 , @jian_is_batman , @rainormckenzie Patient: @full.of.piss Doctor: @brianmacdp

Dauphin Dominic music video is finally out! So much going on in this one but here are some of my favorite moments. When we were brainstorming the concept of the music video, Rex wanted it to have a fun, kinetic energy. It was so fun to just try a bunch of creative stuff I’ve been wanting to try. I’d always wanted to make a music video consisting of a bunch of different vignettes, and this one seemed like the perfect one to do it. Super fun but also very challenging (17 different locations, thank you @grassfilmproductions ) Appreciate Rex Pax for the trust and letting me make crazy shit. And also for being willing to ride that carnival ride while lip syncing to the song (we actually did that). Shoutout the awesome crew that helped get this project made, and EVERY actor, friend, and family member that was in this. Also I made my first acting debut in this video - it will be my last ✌️ BAND @rex.pax @rainormckenzie @jian_is_batman @simon__santodomingo CREW Producer: @grassfilmproductions Directors: @3arthtojas , @brianmacdp Cinematographer: @brianmacdp Production Designer: @mossrattt 1st AC: @friend_rogers Gaffer: @sujaykhona Grips: Gene Kim, @bodhi.bryanroig , @cole_rawson_ , @madisonkorenn , Mel, Moya Jaldin, @rileyater Carnival Electric: John Snyder 1st AD: @charliegrass52 MA: Samantha York Editors: Jonah Carter, @brianmacdp Color: Damian Mejia BTS: @sophiaportography CAST Clown: @mjohnson_iles Devil: @morvayjan Businessmen: Abel Barakat, Mikaeel Didar, @cusmustard Lemonade stand kids: Owen Miller Noel, Nina Judson, Louie Lopez Investors: Heather Wilkinson, Damien Campero Car Salesmen: @therealraquisagain Fortune Teller: @maeveessaouira Green Girl: @izzerzz_ Diner Date Couple: @_claycygelman_ , @erin_l_mac Hitchhiker: @whatever.shirt Barbers: Jimmy Wise, Saif Abuarqoub Poker Players: @friend_rogers , @charliegrass52 , @jian_is_batman , @rainormckenzie Patient: @full.of.piss Doctor: @brianmacdp LENS RENTAL @dccamerarentals ❤️ EXTRAS: Arcade Guy: @ratmosss Magic 8-Ball Lady: Liane MacDonald Book Reader: @mariewbu @livi_williamss @springsilvergram THANKS Garrett Morisato, Jolly Shows Carnival, @wisecuts , Venture X, Maddie Stephens #musicvideo #cinematic #band

⚔️POLLYANNA PART 2⚔️ Some more of my favorite shots from @dylan_rockwell_music ’s pollyanna music video. Going into this I knew I wanted a lot of slow zoom shots throughout the video and the Fujinon 20-120mm that @dccamerarentals provided was perfect. Slide #2 through #5 are great examples of how we utilized that lens.
