A behind-the-scenes look at making the video for Charlatans, by musician Mutal Shock. This was made using a probe lens, water, oil, ink, alcohol, and more, plus a lot of blowing through a straw. The final shot shows the most complex set up: double layer of dishes plus a projection.
Watch the full video at the link in bio. Make sure you select HD quality when watching on YouTube or Vimeo!

Charlatans is live on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms today. The second single from the Tools of Western Aggression EP, this song has grifters of all kinds (and at all levels of government) in its crosshairs. On social media and in public discourse we're awash in lies and half-truths from people who profit from our ignorance. Don't let them win.

Super excited to share the music video for Lamprey with you. Creating this with @handcrankfilms was a special experience. After their amazing work on the Destroyer music video I knew I had to work with Hand Crank and Caleb again. They ran with my idea of human machine integration and parasitism and brought it to life.
We shot in Bellingham at @julienscherliss 's studio, with some really cool lightboxes and an LED controller, tons of haze and projections of the eerie maw of sea lampreys.
Video is live at link in bio and here as a reel as well. Enjoy and leave a comment with your favorite part!
