This win was a win for the most passionate hard working collaborative bold video I’ve ever done. Im so thrilled. Here are a few words from
@n0elpaul that’s sum up everything: “Very pleased that
@jakescottdp and the team have won a
@ukmva for best cinematography for our
@bmblackmidi video.
Jake was a perfect creative partner with whom to attempt such a playful, experimental, this-totally-might-not-work type of video. I’m grateful for his excellent eye, camera-operation skills, understanding of light, and most of all for his amazing sensitivity and spirit even in hectic situations.
This cinematography award extends also to honor the massive contributions of our Beirut Unit DoP
@ramzihibri who climbed a freeway overpass to light the scooter scene and opened his childhood diaries to provide material for the love letters montage, and our colorist
@belalhibri who gave this video the sickest grade I’ve ever seen.
Many thanks also to 1st AC
@samrawlings110 , 2nd AC
@stephmariehornby , and trainee
@emantheartist . The entire camera department’s experiments in the use of vaseline gave the cinematography so much character.
Finally, thanks also to my producer
@manoelachiabai and EP
@daneherman for the passion they brought to every element of the production, and to
@mastertommelier @calumcassidy the band
@bmblackmidi and the fam at
@roughtraderecords whose trust and enthusiasm gave us the space to experiment.”
