As we continually dive deeper into the realm of video and moving pictures I am often asked which I prefer shooting more these days, stills or video? While the mediums are unique with their own challenges, what I am continually drawn to and learn from is how each approach inspires and influences the other. By working in both realms we ultimately come away with a richer body of work; exploring people and places through slightly varied styles of storytelling. In the end, I have no strong preference and welcome the combination of both mediums intertwined.
In the case of the “It’s Your Life. Hear it Happen” campaign for Starkey Hearing, we had about as close to an ideal JCP project as we have had to date. The visual wish list focused on a library of still and motion based assets, shining light on everyday life, everyday “moments of hearing.”
Enjoy the final spot as well as supporting still images from the campaign.
