Earlier today the Respect crew and I were finishing the last scenes of the upcoming Bronze music video. We shot it in the Mamaroneck and Larchmont area. For those who don’t know, that’s the far far away land known as Westchester, or “upstate” as it’s commonly mistaken. We were all eagerly excited to finish the music video since we all have worked so hard to make it it’s best. We invaded Jordan’s parents’ house for the indoor scenes and promptly moved the crew to the Larchmont reservoir, were we shot all remaining scenes with that ‘golden’ hour sunlight. Check out some of the stills from the day, specially the fun-traits we took as we celebrated wrapping the shoot.

On my latest project with Respect! Films we filmed the music video for Bronze and their single “Horses” from the upcoming EP. If they sound familiar is because maybe you have heard of them from my latest monthly mp3 mixtape. The band raised money from fans through Kickstarter and was able to fund all expenses. The performance was shot in Affaire Lounge in the LES, the perfect setting for our 1920′s theme. And of course it would have not been possible without the help of talented stylist Karin Elgai, who really made the characters and band look their best. We also had Lenora Jayne on make-up and Whitney Meers on PA duty. The Respect crew, as always, was Patrick Meaney: director, Jordan Rennert: director of photography, and me on lighting.

Video of the week: M.I.A. “Born Free” (NSFW)

The controversial and explosive music video from artist M.I.A. and director Romain Gavras. Banned from YouTube in the US and the UK. Without getting into the political and moral aspects of the video, I have to say this is brilliant. A bold step musically and visually for M.I.A.

The Shins + Danger Mouse = Broken Bells

I haven’t been more excited about a band since the Postal Service released their album, and that’s quite a while ago. Broken Bells is the collaboration between the guitarist and lead vocalist from the Shins, James Mercer and artist-producer Brian Burton aka Danger Mouse. Brian Burton is well know for his contributions in The Grey Album and producing albums for artists such as Gnarls Barkley, Beck, and the Gorillaz. James Mercer is the iconic voice behind the indie rock band The Shins, whose music was predominately featured in the movie Garden State.

The pair decided to work together after meeting at a Danish music festival in 2004 and finding they were fans of each other’s work. Mercer and Burton began recording together in secret at Burton’s Los Angeles based studio in March 2008 and describe their material as “melodic, but experimental, too”.

Check out the video for their single “The High Road”:

Look for their album on March 9, 2010.

2 4 1 Thurz: Death From Above 1979 and M83

Every Thursday I will be post 2 videos of opposite genres. These are songs and artists I really enjoy and think everyone should be exposed. Peace.

The first one is by Death from Above 1979, the new defunct duo from Canada. Seriously these guys should have never broken up, after several EPs, LPs and one studio album these guys were destined for much more. They had an amazing sound, even though they only used bass and drums on most of their songs. Come back from the dead Death!

The second one is by M83 the electronic/shoegaze band from France. This track is off their new album “Saturdays=Youth”. I’ve never heard of M83 until I came across this video on Pitchfork.tv a few days ago, since then I’ve been hooked like it was crack.
