Like A Moth Music Videos
I’m saving up to create Music Videos for Like A Moth! I’m pleased again to be working with international one-take videographer Cadby Kong. Our first meetings have been so inspiring! At the moment we have the recording locations and concepts roughly planned out. We are applying for Creative NZ funding, and looking at a budget of $7000-$10,000 for 10 music videos which we will be recording in two days, two locations, with a team of 4-5 people. This is an ambitious approach, but with proper planning we’re feeling like it’s not only possible, but possibly brilliant and in thorough keeping the project. Stay tuned for more details!
