“The waters that are rising, soon arriving at our doorstep. I thought we’d be further along.” I was fortunate enough to help create this lyric video for the unparalleled lyricist J.E. Sunde.   

We filmed various liquids pouring into a small aquarium in slow motion, with a variety of colored and flashing lights to add texture and depth. We then paired that footage with a heavy glow/grain filter and an assortment of digital additions. Sunde's thoughtful lyrics were laid on top to drive the video and keep the focus on what's being said throughout.
