I directed a series of music videos

[pete]

thanks everyone.
tyler - we used canon 60D and I think most of the shots were 50mm, some 35mm and maybe some wider for the final dance sequence.

video number two

[Sleepless]

Cool. Some very nice images in there. I really like the use of multiple actions happening on different levels, that seems to be something you play about with a lot in this video.

[RegularKarate]

I really liked it.
This one feels the most like a music video.

Damn that looks great Pete! 

Who knew the dungeon could look so good!?

next time even more girls!!!

[Pubrick]

Damn good. Really atmospheric. I'ma feature this one on the news ticker, peeps be sleeping on your work too often.

[InTylerWeTrust]

Wow, man... That was excellent. I especially love how "artistic" it looks.. I could envision you working with someone like Kanye or someone like that 


Could you tell us how you got in contact with Aesop? Because I've been doing some videos for local rappers (most of whom are actually childhood friends of mine), but I would love to work with a Major artist soon. Basically give us a little run-down of how it all came to be. (If you've already talked about this then I apologize........ for nothing)

[pete]

yeah there's a slight write up about it on my site:

and the "i apologize........for nothing" line was good. more like that buddy.
and share your music videos too man. people'd be curious.

I need to stop watching these, because comparing what I'm capable of to what you're pulling off with the same camera is too depressing.  All of these videos are really, really good.

Haha I recently got a 60D too and have been fuggin around with some vintage nikkor ais primes, but I translate my lack of skill as potential so I'm finding these videos inspirational. Though if I'm not mistaken Pete has moved on from amateur hour and nowadays shoots with the 5D mk II and also the camera Kubrick used to shoot Barry Lyndon. He got it off Vincent Gallo in exchange for tips on how not to be a douche.

Tip # 1 was: give that camera to someone who deserves it.

that's really nice. thanks buddies.
I still make most of my meager living shooting food and drinks and chefs. so these words really hit the spot.
