street sects - "chasing the vig"

unofficial, but sanctioned by the band.

live footage was filmed on a sony FS700 at brooklyn bazaar on 11/3/18 and manipulated using trapcode form in after effects.

narrative scenes were shot on a nikon D3400 and everything was edited together and colored in premiere pro.

the immediacy of "chasing the vig" drew me in, and after witnessing street sects live, I knew it would be the perfect track to help capture the energy of their live presence.

with lyrical topics including police corruption, drug addiction, violence, and hopelessness, I wanted a hint of narrative that would touch on at least a couple of those subjects.

I've known the band for a long time...their continued evolution has been thrilling to watch and I hope this video captures some of that magic.

but remember, this is unofficial.
