Ready to shoot when the sun started to rise, we worked fast. We got about three takes from the hills, which ended up being some of the main parts in the video.

The same day we had planned to shoot the sunset in the Santa Monica streets, having the sunset in the background. But because of the heavy traffic we missed it by only ten minutes. It would have been a great shot.

TRY SOMETHING NEW IN EVERY PROJECT

The Dog Schidt Optics lens.

I shot the video with the Canon 5D Mark III camera. This was a great choice for this production because I wanted my gear to be light weight. We also got in contact with Christopher, a dude in LA who shot some beautiful aerial shots from the different locations with his drone.

In every new project I want to try something new, to make it all more interesting and to keep me motivated. This time I got a custom made lens from Dog Schidt Optics, which gave such a beautiful look to the video. Dog Schidt Optics is a British company who customizes lenses to give digital video a more authentic look. I have used this lens a lot after using it during the music video shoot.
