COLINHDUFFY: director
View Larger Just wrapped another music video for Eric Zayne. For this last scene, we had to hike 40 minutes up to the top of a mountain (and some of us had more gear to carry than others) but it was totally worth it!

New video I directed for Todrick Hall coming soon!
one hundred billion hours of rotoscoping later…
This was a tough video for us to do on a budget because it required not only like six locations, but like at least four people to act/be in each scenario. And for those of you wondering, the train conductors DO watch those security cameras on the train cars so in this case; good for safety = bad for filming.
It took about 1hr before we were stopped, and at that point we’d already shot a wide, a tight, with variations. We got greedy and tried to get the turnaround just in case we were short in the editing room (we weren’t), and THAT’s when we got stopped by a super grumpy rail worker (redundant? hmm.).
We shot this commercial ages ago, and I felt like it was time these adorable dogs finally got some exposure.
Actually, I take that back— these dogs work more than anyone I know. They’re in all the superbowl ads and tv shows, and movies, and they can all hit their marks better than most actors. Credit goes to Bob Dunn’s animal trainers for doing such a great job. I think we all had reservations about working with dogs on set, but it was really a breeze with this gang.
Some stils from an upcoming music video. DP Ben Winchell did a great job, especially considering how little time he had to light, and considering that the very first shot of the day was a winding 360 degree steadicam shot around the entire bar. He’s always nice to my face, but I think deep down he probably hates my guts.
Some concept drawings along with the finals for comparison. Paul Bianchi did the two color drawings. I did the pencil one that looks like crap.
