Growing up with a heavy dose of MTV and cutting my teeth at Fuse and Vh1 means that directing music videos is a coveted rite of passage. And so, I’m happy to premiere the music video for Frank Mayor’s “The Echo of Your Goodbye (ft. Víro)”.
Isn’t this BTS photo gorgeous? Genevieve Lauren captured some incredible shots, thanks to our choreographer, Jasmine Ejan for recommending her. Lucky us!
Directing this project was a total blast. The vibe on set at FD Photo Studios was cool and I had a lot of fun working with this excellent team. I’m so in my groove here!
I had the pleasure of connecting with our director of photography, Josh S. Rose and his gorgeous body of work as a dance photographer. His brilliant cinematography worked perfectly for the story that I wanted to tell. He paired well with our gaffer, Kevin Stevenson who lit the scene with total precision.
Jasmine Ejan’s choreography brought the story to life and our talented dancer-actors, Laura Sofia Dominguez and Anthony Cannarella delivered her moves with perfection.
I learned a lot on this project—mostly that I love directing music videos and working with such an incredibly talented group of creators (including our makeup artist, Diksha Malhotra, our grip, Om Pathak, and our AC, Indica DeRose). It’s a level of satisfaction that I only find in making film and theater.
Looking forward to the next one! Please enjoy our creation below.
