Let’s set the scene:

Pretty Little Thing was a performance music video with a little bit of an artistic story incorporated in it. Shot monochrome on Alexa and treated for black and white. Shot with white backgrounds on the performances and a gray background on the story driven shots.

The Nerve Endings music video was very dark and gritty. Shot in a abandoned house.  This music video had a combination of performance shots, story driven shots, and slow motion 120FPS.
