K. Serra - Radio Waves - Live at Ace Bar

I recently had the opportunity to shoot a K. Serra playing a few songs at the studio. Radio Waves is one of them. I’m really pumped to post the finished videos, they are easily the best music related project I have been a part of so far.

Check out K. Serra!

Nose Job - A video blog by New French Wave Films featuring Andrew Haynes, Jordan Melcher and editing by Alex Anderson.

We made this while we were at the height of pre-production for our almost complete film The Midnite Show. All we have to finish is some sound design, color sweetening, and some additional visual FX. It’s been a wild ride and I can’t wait to do it again… BIGGER!

New French Wave Films Presents - Fan Club - Featuring Kurt Schmidt, Lindsay Nance, and Andrew Haynes. Special Effects by Nick Spence

We popped this funny little number off while Kurt Schmidt was visiting Chicago from the great lands of Los Angeles, California. I had a lot of fun shooting this one, but we really need another person to run sound.

Hemmingbirds - Slipper Slope - Live @ Beat Kitchen - Chicago, IL

ENJOY!

This was a great time! I love this set. You can watch it all on the Hemmingbirds youtube channel. I have been continuing to shoot tons of live music. Maybe I should start posting daily?? I have enough stuff to last for a while at this point!

Rumsey (Steve DeSitter) Plays a few songs between sets with Betta Live. Steve had just played a show at Uncommon Ground in Wrigleyville, Chicago and KILLED IT! I shot a bunch more Sets with Betta Live that I’ll be posting up over the coming weeks!

Farm 2 Fork is a documentary I worked on a few years ago. I forgot about it until recently when I have been watching so many food docs.
