n 2020 I crafted my own light leaks and overlays by recording a flashing party light through various old lenses and glass. Filmed with a 2011 Handy-cam to add some retro tech grain and grittiness. Flitz&Suppe shared with me an unreleased track that inspired this edit.
You can purchase these custom light leaks on Gumroad for only $5

This was one of my first drafts for the visuals to accompany 'Amazonia' by @gojira during their North America tour with @kornchannel & @SpiritboxOfficial . Mario told me this version didn't align with the message behind the song (completely agree), so it was cut down.
I'm still buzzing from this incredible opportunity! Shout out to all the dope Gojira fans that recorded their live performances during this tour!

The Decade Mix Turns 1!
Last year I had the privilege of making the official visualizer for the 2012 - 2022 Decade Mix by @flightfacilities
Hundreds of cuts, clips, segments, glitches, and recordings. My magnum opus you could say.
When I was tasked to take this on I was excited but nervous. I knew I had the firepower and the passion but making something of this scope is a massive undertaking. I bought a flat CRT and a new camera to levy that anxiety (it helped).
I practically quit my day job to work on this full time. I dedicated myself to this project almost every day for 2 months. It was exhilarating.
I used everything at my disposal and I hope to do it again someday.
Thanks for watching.

Check out the visualizer I put together for @flightfacilities at @Coachella @thedolab
It's a combination of an internal feedback loop and an audio-reactive video-synth
