“Lately” is one of my favorite music video I’ve ever created. The whole process was so fun. I visited the midwest for the first time, and got a personal tour of Akron by the artist. That first scout day really helped me understand the cultural context that he wanted the video to capture: a synergy of nature, slices of everyday life, and psychedlic visions of his artistry all melded together beautifully.
