Always
A colorful, poppy video I directed and edited for Madeline Kenney's "Always". Bright photo studio sequences are intercut with dark, projector-lit scenes representing an inner monologue that underscores the song's theme.
We used green paint as a matte for some busy, colorful footage to show through. The same footage was used to light the darker scenes, tying the two together.
