Shot Composition As It Relates to Music Videos
Although I’ve been pretty active with the camera in the last couple of years, it’s been a while since I entered the music video realm. Well, I’m officially back.
The first music video I shot was for “10 Stone” for my good friend and fellow artist, Latimore Platz back in the winter of 2010. The fact that I volunteered for the job didn’t stop me from being any less nervous about it.
VIDEO: Capture The Sun – Episode One
I’ve been spending a lot of time behind the camera lately. Here’s the latest video I directed for Illogic and Blockheads forthcoming album, Capture The Sun.

Greenhouse “Hello World” (Deconstructed) Video
A few months back when we released Electric Purgatory Part Two I went on facebook and asked if anybody would be interested in us putting together some videos where we talk about the creative process and the making of the project. Pretty much everybody was in favor of it, so Illogic and I started shooting. Now that I’m home from tour I finally I was able to put the first video together.
Our goal is to do one for each song on the EP assuming people like it or find it informative and/or entertaining. If you haven’t checked out the EP yet, listen here:
Song Lyrics: The Spin Cycle
“The Spin Cycle” – from Electric Purgatory Part Two by Greenhouse
A dollar’s hard to earn
The drama’s hard to kill
Even if you got God you gotta guard your grill
Times is hard
With or without a job it’s ill
People standing outside like it’s a fire drill
Just a consequence of living in a modern world
Cash rules so people bow to the dollar bill
Might stab you in the back
holler at your girl
They rap about make-believe, package it, then call it real
Major labels crying foul
Saying nothing sellsGreenhouse “Only You” – featuring Toki Wright & Angelica Lee
Here’s the latest leak from the upcoming Greenhouse release Electric Purgatory Part Two, to be released next week! Listen, download, enjoy!
