Transit Method "Artificial Genesis" Directed by: Kenny Lewis & Randy Charles Jenereaux
"Artificial Genesis" is the debut music video from Austin band Transit Method. It was filmed by Kenny Lewis and Randy Charles Jenereaux of KLews Films during their trek across the USA to film 50 music videos across the country. The journey was made into a documentary called "If You Don't Love It, Change It". This song is about the rise of A.I. and its eventual seize of power over the human race. It was debuted on June 26, 2015 digitally via Do512.com and screened for the first time at Red 7 in Austin that same day in tandem with a performance by the band.

Immortal Guardian "Walk Alone" Directed by: Andrew Gonzales
"A Manchurian Candidate inspired music video of a schizophrenic sleeper-cell on a mission to assassinate your favorite Texas heavy metal shredders Immortal Guardian."

Seek Irony "Devil In Me" Directed by: Jared Aja
The concept of this video was created by the band and then developed with the production team (A-Town Production).
We wanted to show multiple characters dealing with their own demons throughout their daily routine but also showing how they were all connected by hiding something from everyone. 

Characters and Addiction:
House Wife / Alcohol
Troubled Teenager / Drugs
Therapist / Porn Addiction
Stripper / Fast Money
ambulance driver / Anger

We used a real ambulance, equipment and trained ems staff in the video to replicate an authentic process of some being picked up and transported to the hospital. 
The video was recorded in a raw format on a Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera which was then color graded with Davinci Resolve.
The video was recorded in Austin,Tx

Ume "Black Stone" Directed by: Justin Wilson
In a black lit warehouse, Ume shreds to a frenzied crowd. The band is eventually overtaken in a psychedelic squish fest.

Riverboat Gamblers "Blue Ghosts" Directed by: Justin Wilson
The Gamblers narrowly escape certain death as they're chased through a huge wooden maze and into a sacrificial ceremony. This is the sequel and prequel to "Heart Conditions", as the videos are meant to be played in loop: https://vimeo.com/66586753 
The album trailer that started it all: https://vimeo.com/41450412  
Director of Photography: Joe Simon

True Widow "S:H:S" Directed by: Justin Wilson
In long takes, True Widow plays amongst antiques. As the music takes a psychedelic turn, so does this black and white video. So far, a non-guessable technique was utilized for the video's climax, which we found only because we shot in b&w, proving limitations can turn out to be advantages.

The Well "Mortal Bones" Directed by: Andy Ray Lemon
An attempt to simply capture the raw power of Austin metal band The Well being themselves on stage, shot live on Super 8 film and VHS in a nod to late night cable access TV shows.
