Bat Hat: Music Video
History / Description
In 2023, Italy-based, singer/songwriter, Rachel Icenogle asked if I would make a music video with her. We had a really short amount of time. We quickly put together a wonderful team of makers; worked for two days in November 2023 while Rachel was touring the states. In the Spring 2024, Sean McPhee, Kennedy Candra, Harlee Trautman and I finished up shooting and editing. This was a first pass for all of us - lots learned - enough accomplished that I am sharing a beautiful song, some interesting images, and deep diligence in the editing process.
