Music Video Production
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of contributing to over 15 music videos, collaborating with a diverse array of artists ranging from superstars like Hank Williams Jr. and Tisha Campbell to lesser-known, yet equally talented, local musicians. This experience has allowed me to explore various roles within the video production process, showcasing my versatility and passion for the craft.
Hank Williams Jr., a legendary figure in country music known for his powerful performances and distinctive voice, presented a unique opportunity to work on projects that resonated deeply with fans. His music videos required a keen understanding of storytelling and visual aesthetics, ensuring that each piece complemented his iconic sound.
Tisha Campbell, renowned for her acting and singing talents, brought a dynamic energy to her music videos. Her work demanded creative direction that could capture her vibrant personality and convey the essence of her music, challenging me to think innovatively and push the boundaries of traditional video production.
Zein Al-Jundi, an artist celebrated for her contributions to Arabic music, offered yet another dimension to my portfolio. Her videos required a deep appreciation of cultural nuances and an ability to translate her rich musical heritage into compelling visual narratives.
In addition to working with these well-known artists, I have also collaborated with smaller, local acts, like Clyde, directing and editing 10 music videos that helped elevate their music and reach a wider audience. These projects have been incredibly rewarding, allowing me to support emerging talent and contribute to the local music scene.
Across these diverse projects, I have taken on a multitude of roles, including director, producer, camera operator, editor, production assistant, and various other supporting positions. This breadth of experience has not only honed my technical skills but also deepened my understanding of the collaborative nature of music video production.

My On-set Experience
Tisha Campbell – Love Me Down
I had the privilege of serving as a Producer for Boyington Films Productions on Tisha Campbell’s “Love Me Down” music video, filmed at South Bay Studios. This particular shoot was both creatively exciting and technically challenging, as the concept demanded a full-on rain sequence inside an indoor soundstage—an homage to classic “Singin’ in the Rain” style performances.
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that creating a controlled downpour indoors would require significant planning. Large overhead rigs and specialized equipment were arranged to simulate rainfall, with careful precautions in place to protect both the talent and the crew from potential water hazards. Despite the thorough preparation, water still managed to seep beneath the stage floor’s paint, causing the paint to peel by the end of our Saturday shoot. See image above.
While the rest of the team wrapped for the weekend, I found myself back on set alone on Super Bowl Sunday, reapplying and touching up the paint to ensure the set looked pristine for Monday’s filming schedule. Although unglamorous, this extra step was critical to maintaining continuity and upholding the professional standard we had all set for the production.
Working alongside Tisha Campbell was a highlight. She brought a positive energy and strong work ethic to the shoot, making those long days manageable and fun. Her brother also joined us on set, eager to watch the behind-the-scenes process of creating a music video. Spending time with him gave me a chance to share insights on lighting, camera movement, and stage design—key elements that bring a director’s vision to life.
By Monday morning, the floor was freshly painted, and we captured the final footage without missing a beat. The final product truly encapsulates the magic of a rain-soaked performance, featuring Tisha’s dynamic vocals in an unforgettable setting. Behind the scenes, it was a testament to adaptability, teamwork, and dedication to craft—proving that even when unexpected challenges arise, creative professionals can pivot quickly to ensure the show goes on.
