OH RHIEN - DESOLATE WHITE ISLAND

OH RHIEN - DESOLATE WHITE ISLAND

THIS ONE REALLY HIT HOME FOR ME. THE CONCEPT OF THIS VIDEO WAS TO CAPTURE THE DESTRUCTION LEFT IN THE WAKE OF HURRICANE LAURA. THE BAND AND I WORKED TOGETHER AND EVEN FILMED IN THE DESTROYED HOME OF ONE OF THE BAND MEMBERS. IT ALWAYS FEELS GOOD TO WORK ON SOMETHING AND HAVE YOUR HEART IN IT AT THE SAME TIME.

WE INTERPRETED HURRICANE LAURA IN A WAY THAT GAVE HER A PERSONALITY. ULTIMATELY, SHE DEVASTATED THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES AND DID SO UNINVITED AND WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT.

THOUGH RECONSTRUCTION HAD ALREADY BEGUN, WE WERE ABLE TO SET DRESS THE RUINED HOME LOCATION TO EVOKE THE IMAGERY WE WANTED WHILE ALSO MAKING IT PLEASING TO THE EYE.

WE ALSO FILMED IN ANOTHER HOME WITH A SIMILAR LAYOUT IN ORDER TO PORTRAY THE MEMORIES THAT WILL NEVER LEAVE THE VICTIMS OF LAURA AS WELL AS THE PERMANENT DAMAGE DONE TO THEM BY THE STORM.
