Aaron Allen & Those Who Were There

House of Cards - Remix Music Video

Filmed across one fun, chilly evening in early January 2017, the video for this Remix version was a long time coming. Back in the Winter of 2014 we filmed a fun lyric promo video for Aaron Allen & Those Who Were There's single "House of Cards (Fall into the Sky)." Sometime later the band mentioned a remix they were working on that they also wanted to do a video for. It took a while, but a fairly impromptu night led to some great footage and a video with an organic flow.

"sweet n' low" recorded at a record store

Recorded live at Revolver Records for a special 7" record store day release. We covered the session with four cameras while TJ (executive producer of the project) and Jared handled recording of the live multi-track audio. As a side note, a still from one of our GoPro wide shots of this particular session ended up as the 45's cover. Named the "video of the day" in an article for the Phoenix New Times upon release, the video was also chosen as one of Yab Yum's Music & Arts '5 Amazing Live Music Videos' before going on to be accepted into and praised at the 2017 Jerome Film Festival as well as the 2015 Phoenix Comicon Film Festival.

Aaron Allen & Those Who Were There

"Effortless" Music Video

Mixing together footage from a live concert of the band's at the Crescent Ballroom, with special footage filmed across some unique locations in Phoenix, this music video is a surreal tale. If an artist's work is a self-portrait of their life, a prism of imagination and conviction, then with that in mind we tried to capture the prism of Aaron Allen - on stage and off.
