Introducing: The Bird’s Eye

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

SAY AGAIN?

“Do you wanna direct a music video?” Eight days before leaving for my second trip to LA this year, Caleigh proposed a question that would have seemed absurd, let alone impossible, to be carried out in 8+ days thereabout. 

“Uhhhh, giddy up! Wait, what?” I had directed small product commercials for years, and had talked about getting into music videos, but timing amongst everything else never seemed to be in my favor. Enter The Bird’s Eye.

Every so often people enter your life randomly and their energy is so palpable you could drizzle it on pancakes. That is Caleigh and Bill. Having known them for so long, as now former New Yorkers, I had always been in awe of their artistry, so when the opportunity opened up for me to work with them it was a no-brainer.

With their new music video Wave dropping today on YouTube directed by yours truly, recorded and mastered at 840 Studios, edited by our man Brendan Amoruso at Luna Lyte, and made up & styled to perfection by Lydia McIntosh, we thought we’d proudly feature them in our guest edition for this month!

Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition

It's midway through the Spring semester, I'm sitting in my studio irritated. Surrounded in a sea of arial font type, neon yellow posted notes and red sharpie pens, I'm grading papers and questioning my own knowledge as I fact check copious generalizations being made by my pupils. Am I loosing it? Marilyn Monroe died, in 1984. No, she didn't. Helmut Newton never shot in color. Yes, he did. Art history has absolutely no bearing on photography today. Yes, it does.

Letter from the Editor – April 2020: The Digital Producer with Josh Eisenman

“But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief, that thou her maid art far more fair than she.” Or in other words... go to the damn window! Yes, the Sun! Shakespeare pens Romeo’s phrase with such eloquence that it bears repeating although perhaps a bit more bluntly. It’s all about the light. It always has been and now that we’re cooped up, it bears repeating with a vengeance.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: KARJAKAN Love

Likely our most imaginative, provocative and downright fun editions yet, I'm curious to hear the chatter on this Valentinian launch. Honestly, I've never put much stock in to Valentine's Day. Past girlfriends are quick to remind me of this with much relish.
