Music Video - "Why" - Iseula - Iseula Hingano - 2023/24
Iseula treads the lines between soul, groove, RnB, neosoul, and blues.  She has played extensively at festivals, gigging and touring in the Melbourne area, and is a mainstay in the Victorian Blues and Groove scene. I worked on this music video with Iseula, from development, to shoot/lighting, and editing, to be released just prior to the "Why" Single Launch in June 2024 as part of the New EP launch.

I followed the Lifecyclists on some of their Charity Ride for the Sydney Children's Hospital from Sydney to Armidale.  I created vLogs and stills for the website.  See the blog and content at:  http://www.lifecyclists.com/news.html  A great cause and forward thinking team for the website and the socially networked attachments.  We updated the blog on the road each day with a laptop and wireless internet along the way (with some other editing to follow) to continuously update various rich content, as well as a text writeup by the riders.  Also the riders had iPhones to take pictures with, with direct feed to their twitter feeds, which fed automatically to the blog content.
