I ONLY SMOKE
WHEN I DRINK

CONCEPT

Imagine Siamese twins at a rager. One kicks the night off with a drink, which leads the other to smoke.

I love exploring self-vs.-self because, at the end of the day, that is the definition of creativity. We are our best ally and worst enemy, and sometimes, those two roles need to shut up and dance together.

EXECUTION

This will be a fully animated video harnessing the power of Unreal Engine. We use this technology to build the most beautiful and mind-bending psychedelic experience the music world has yet to see. Think of the animation style of BMTH’s Medicine video but more like an art installation at a museum.

All characters have TWO heads
REPRESENTING OVER THINKING.

the environments are surreal.

RELATED WORK

With my extensive knowledge of animation and live-action, I am excited to push the envelope with this concept.

DIRECTOR REEL

MY PROCESS

  • Collaboration is key to making an impactful piece of art. I invite department heads to bring ideas that excite them to the table. 

    If an artist feels called to co-direct a project, I will share and fly the cockpit together.

  • I plan everything, from the storyboards to the music I play on set. It's my job to create a space where the artist and crew feel connected and in sync.

  • Let's come prepared, but be open to finding gold in the moment. Like modern art, I let the creativity come to me and discern what is best for the story.

  • Editing my work allows me to compose the story in my mind as we go, which is a critical component of a cohesive emotional experience.
