Country Mess

  • 4 min­utes – HD video – Color
  • My role: Producer/​Director

I direct­ed this music video for coun­try music artist Kelsey K, pro­duced with the assis­tance of the West­ern Iowa Tech Film and Media Pro­duc­tion program.

This project was an excel­lent oppor­tu­ni­ty for my stu­dents to be involved with every step of the process on a cre­ative process, from the brain­storm­ing, to the shoot, to post-pro­duc­tion. We strove to make a video that encap­su­lat­ed not only the atti­tude of the song, but Kelsey’s per­sona as a per­former. My stu­dents served as the pro­duc­tion crew and edit­ed the project, tak­ing notes from our client all along the way.
