The sun's rays filtered through the trees at the location of Mundy and I's second film shoot for her song Dark Leo. This time around I was armed with the knowledge you can only receive by getting behind the camera. I used spend hours watching tutorials about how to get the "film look" or the best camera settings for getting great footage so that when I finally picked up a camera the resulting images would be perfct. But that's not how things work in reality.

The idea behind this shoot was to break her song Dark Leo up into three sections and film mini fashion films around each one. My thighs were on fire squatting to ensure the shot came out just how I wanted to. Thankfully, I have since invested in a tripod so film shoots need not double as my exercise regime.

For part two we wanted to do a single take, to mimic the idea of an alien awakening on planet Earth. This merged perfectly with Mundy's space glam rock inspired music. If you haven't seen her live you are truly missing out. Mundy brings so much raw kinetic energy to her shows.

While we were filming the video Mundy's cat Monster was roaming the grounds and we couldn't pass up the photo opp.

Without further adieu, I present part 2 of Dark Leo. Don't forget to buy the single here and follow Mundy on Facebook.

Music has always defined certain periods of my life. As a child Gospel music was constantly on rotation. My teen years bring back the distinct memory of driving down I-95 listening to Linkin Park, Maroon 5, and Fall Out Boy. In high school, I went through a very serious 80's phase. College is where my taste stabilized. I explored new sonic frontiers with my dorm mates by listening to the xx, Dirty Projectors, and any other "hipster" music that was out. I also got more into 90’s rap through Outkast and Notorious B.I.G.

Now my musical taste is a mix of forward thinking pop and alternative music in any genre. I like to compile playlists of new music cause I can’t stand listening to the radio anymore.

Here are the new songs I found last month.

Enjoy!
