As my friend Aaron, also known as Justyfi, wanted to begin releasing his first music project, he knew that he wanted a cool music video to pair with the project's release. He reached out to me with a specific vision for his song "Lose My Head" on the EP. The song, which focuses on Aaron's desire to keep his focus on his faith and relationships as he grows, rather than losing himself in the process. The song lends itself in both feel and lyrical content, with a trippy, dazed cadence and punchy, fast lyrics. Aaron's vision for the music video was an interrogation, where he would be interrogated by hooded figures which would only later be revealed to be versions of himself. Stylistically, Aaron wanted to video to feel very dark and cold. Even the outside portions he wanted to feel as though it were night time, so that the entirety of the video felt as though it was dimly lit.The music video was shot in under 18 hours, providing an intense shooting schedule that started Friday Evening with pickup shots early Saturday morning. However, the shoot being done in only two locations with minimal scene changes made it achievable in such a tight timeframe. The video was shot on our Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K as well as our Panasonic GH5 for most of the video, with a few shots provided by a Sony A7S III. Our initial edit for the video was done in Premiere Pro, and then was transferred to Davinci Resolve for our fine tuning and color.
