    Brendan Bellomo's "Hundred in the Shade"

    November 2018 - January 2019
    Los Angeles

    This is a music video filmed on location in the West Valley after heavy fires by Brendan Bellomo, an independent filmmaker. I composited several plates to create a feeling of dreamlike flashbacks, of objects floating in the landscape. Tracking was a challenge due to some shutter jitter perhaps due to the heat. The video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3fgOT-gRtk
