New Era, Start-to-Finish Evolution of a Music Video Project

Beautiful music vid here performed by Seattle hip hop pals Macklemore (@macklemore) & Ryan Lewis (@ryanlewismusic) and shot by emerging Seattle filmmaker friend Zia Mohajerjasbi (@DrZia)

You think this video emerged fully formed outta these guys’ brains? Hell no. It’s all a process. Usually, this process is not well chronicled. But in the case of this video, we get to see some special insights. Not just the ‘making of’ but the whole process of how this project came together in the new era of filmmaking… Hit ‘continue reading’ below to see…

1) raw video of the first time this song was performed more than 2 years ago (at my studio actually!)
2) video of Macklmore, Ryan, and Zia asking for fan support via Kickstarter
4) and finally a few behind the scenes videos showing how they made it..

Follow the progression…

First time “Wings” (was called ‘Air Jordans’ back then…) was performed at my studio via our Songs For Eating & Drinking project more than 2 years ago… A song whose lyrics were still taking shape, scratched out on scraps of paper. I learned that sometime that evening Zia told Macklemore he’d love to make a video for that track if the song ever evolved…

Here’s Macklemore, Ryan, and Zia asking for your support on Kickstarter…

And finally, here’s 3 behind the scenes videos showing some of the cooler shots…

IMHO, this is a great chronicle of the new era of making stuff in the world. Raw artistry, is put out into the world. Feedback and collaboration result. Fans and friends help support the making of this art. Great work gets made and shared, and the recipe of how it was all pulled off is given back to the world for consumption, edification, and repetition.

Onward & upward.

[And and overall, big ups to my Seattle homies. Congrats on a kick ass video AND thanks for sharing with us the evolution of the art.]

    Throughout this grand pattern of things you’ll receive an A with regard to effort. Where you confused us was in all the specifics. You know, they say, the devil is in the details… And that could not be much more accurate at this point. Having said that, permit me reveal to you just what exactly did give good results. Your article (parts of it) is actually quite powerful which is possibly why I am making an effort in order to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, whilst I can see a leaps in logic you make, I am definitely not convinced of how you appear to unite your points which in turn produce the actual final result. For now I shall yield to your position but trust in the future you actually link your dots much better.

    Cellular networks rely on the usual GPRS and EDGE networks, whilst Bluetooth
    and micro USB are both included to connect the handset to compatible devices.
     The camera is a fine two mega pixel snapper that has auto focus, smile detection
    and a few photography modes. 1contains MP3 Music Format with OGG player and MP4 video format with H.
