Atlas
Role:
Videographer, Editor
Description:
Atlas by Station 26 is inspired by its mythological namesake, Atlas, the Titan who was condemned by the Gods to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. The music video takes the concept of Atlas punishment and relates it to the artist: the artist’s insight and sensitivity to the surrounding world can often feel like an unbearable weight and hinder artistry.
Filmed at the iconic Lake Cuddieback in California’s Mojave Desert, the film follows Evan Blainey, the lead vocalist and guitarist of Station 26, as he embarks on a spiritual journey to release the artist’s weight in order to create more freely. On his journey, he is met by Niki Cremmen, a muse and guide, and Jack Dove, the other band leader, who grounds Evan with a rap verse in true wisdom.

Trust me, Honey
Role:
Videographer, Editor
Description:
Carly and I grew up 5 minutes down the road from each other. We had lost touch for no reason other than life. When I saw she was playing a live show in LA, I figured I’d go and see her. A week later I was in the mountains shooting her a music video for Trust Me, Honey, a personal and nostalgic song that uses music to create and bring back memories with those we no longer have the chance to.
Carly’s father died when she was a young child. This video is inspired by a memory she had of him which never really happened.
