Special thanks to the staff of the Ft. Wayne Children's Zoo for allowing us to film inside the zoo!
Tasked to create a music video for Wrongbird Erickson’s “Dark Eyes,” a single off of his 2016 album The Epitome of the Opposite, we sought out a place that would give us a unique perspective of nature and animals but within the constraints of being in the middle of a bustling city.
The tone of the song gave off an old-school vibe and so we edited it with a VHS style and overlay. We wanted to match frame each cut to the next location, with Wrongbird’s eyes being in the same position. To achieve this, our DP Joshua Bellis measured the length from Wrongbird to the lens for each new set-up.
A special thank you to the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo.
