Late last year I was put in touch with a band from Lawrence Kansas, metal band Horned Wolf was looking to make a music video for their new single “Become Like They Are” with their new lead singer, Sav. Finally, a chance to have the opportunity to create something for someone new. This opened me up to new adventures, new challenges, and in the end, after a 12 hour shoot, a month of editing, I was able to create a vision for their music.
So much has been said about Horned Wolf through the Lawrence Music scene, featured in articles from The Pitch KC, BraveWords, and metalunderground.com, to name a few. Their sound, voice, and talent to create is going to take them far. It will be exciting to see where they go from here.
October 23rd, 2021. I won’t forget that night any time soon.
A couple years ago, I came across a videographer that goes by Hate5Six. A concert videographer, his passion and goal to record bands and their live performances inspired me to want to move beyond the realm of photos, and into the experience of recording video for bands. Having been in the video world for the better part of the last 20 years, it’s almost an expected thing, if not a question of why didn’t I do this earlier.
Local music is wonderful. It’s real and alive, fresh and inspired. Being a part of the music scene in the Hays area for all these years, I am so very thankful to be able to be friends with so many talented and wonderful artists, and to give back to them, to help them be seen, promoted, given a stage other than the basement of a bar, or garage is something that I can give to them to thank them for giving me the opportunity to be a part of their lives.
Getting video of the 2021 Salina Halloween Punk Fest was an opportunity for me to introduce myself to a new area and new bands that, most likely, have not heard of me. Getting my name out there is important with growing as an artist, and a professional. With maintaining a presence in the community, I hope that I will be able to build something in the surrounding communities. Hopefully they’ll see what I have to offer, and want to work with me. That is the hope.
