Set the Reset

We just wrapped principle photography for Portland’s punk goth band, Cold Metal music video, “Set the Reset.” For the first time in like 3 years or so, Rick Guinan was able to be part of the crew as second cameraman with his brand new Canon 7D. Being a family man and a facility manager at Laika Studios does not afford many opportunities to be on production. So it was like back in Whisky Marine days having Rick on set, along with Chris Covel - who is getting ready to return to L.A. for Adult Swim, Shawn Wight, Heather Jacobs, Mike Skelton and of course, a production wouldn’t be complete without my super PA, Arc Mission.
Candy Lacey of Cold Metal approached us with a concept for a performance music video. I’ve never done a video, based mainly on performance so I thought it would be a good opportunity to make one with a edgy band and ‘80s inspired dark wave. But not knowing how to keep it simple, I had to at least have some narrative element. So we built a wall and tangled Candy into wires.
It was great to shoot at Stage 13, which is operated by our former instructor at The Art Institute of Portland, Dan Ackerman. For our second location, we went guerilla at the building where Cold Metal practiced. Much to our surprise, no one came to interrupt the shoot. Free location with no crowd control - can’t get better than that!
Check out the photos from the shoot.
