During Artemis II’s flight people were posting the astronauts taking pics with Nikon gear and I pointed out how 3 of my fav lenses were Nikons that NASA used in the 1970’s.
This whole piece was shot with one of those, the Nikkor-S 55mm f1.2 (which was used by NASA to photograph the ozone layer)

We simulated Zero G by putting me in rollerblades (whenever my feet aren’t visible) and having Erin (our producer) down below pushing and pulling me around the stage, so my movements weren’t entirely under my own control. Trying to keep my balance with that going on gave it a nice floaty feeling

Apparently if you google us and IG one of the results claims we use AI. I want to be clear: None of our films use AI
Our films are made with Living Humans, Physical sets and occasionally miniatures, puppets or other classic effect techniques
Also: our patented tools for color are analog hardware
Congrats to Artemis II on a successful mission!

I normally record drums for these songs with an E-drum kit (so that even when Im not using acoustic kit sounds, there’s still a human feel) but recently picked up a korg volca beats which I used here. Its kind of a perfect little analog disco machine.
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

The challenge on this one was creating some atmosphere while keeping our feline co-star visible. Her fur is like black velvet and looks like an empty void the moment the angle of the light isn’t perfect.

Our specialty is recreating three-strip Technicolor with analog tools and in three-strip there are also unique colored flares (magenta). After we combined period correct lenses with our equipment we were able to have those magenta flares without any digital manipulation. So I’m sure its possible.
They’re an artifact of the combination of the lens coatings used at the time and the way colors were layered in the film negative.

We lit this piece way up into the shoulder to better match the backdrop. It was one of the largest we’ve used, we had about 300fc for the overexposed key
The song came from riffing on a yamaha reface dx as I was working on an acoustic piano patch thats at the center of this one

We always try to minimize the amount of post production on our films. The color/b&w swap here is just a quick rotoscope on the 2 versions, layered on each other (done with a wacom tablet, no A.I.) I love how you can feel the extra dimension that color brings as they swap
