Aces 48 / Music video
Wonder
One hour. One location. One continuous take.
Behind the film.
Wonder was a flash in the pan: we had one hour to make a one-take music video in Herter Hall at UMass Amherst. It became an homage to the Amherst music scene, in the place where up-and-coming student bands practiced.
I handled direction, production, filming, editing, and color.
Visual references.
A nod to UMass when it really was “the Zoo.” These archival campus concert images were selected for this page to connect Wonder’s Herter Hall setting with the university’s older music scene.
