The Bright Side

Together with Paul Sahre I helped They Might Be Giants with a music video for their song: The Bright Side.

For the video we wanted to create a visual overload with lights of various colors. To gather the footage we went one evening to Times Square and recorded various lights in and out of focus. The footage was then layered and collaged in time with the music.

Abstract blurred neon lights in blue and purple from Times Square

Layered vertical colour bands from out-of-focus Times Square signage

Triptych of blurred bokeh lights in red, teal, and purple from Times Square at night

Overlapping streaks of warm orange and cool blue light from Times Square at night

Dense mosaic of defocused coloured lights creating an abstract pattern

Soft gradient of blurred pink and green neon from Times Square billboards
