Filmmaker and musical artist Mitchell Abraham, the creative force behind the Aerosol Jezus music project, knew he wanted to create a unique and compelling music video for his single “Cozey.” Usually, with limited budgets, concepts end up being simplified and diminished to a simple artist performance, but Abraham was determined to avoid that trap. Instead, he joined up with cinematographer Zach Ostapchenko, using a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K digital film camera with DaVinci Resolve Studio editing, color grading, visual effects (VFX) and audio post production software to create something truly out of this world.
The shoot spanned locations as diverse as the jungle, snow covered mountain tops and vast deserts, none of which were created with VFX techniques. We sat down with Abraham to discuss the concept of the music video, how he achieved such amazing visuals, and the value of finishing in DaVinci Resolve Studio.
Where did you get the idea for this video?
The credit for the story's origin goes to my younger brother, Robert Abraham, an incredibly skilled writer/filmmaker in his own right. He pitched me the rough idea for the video: a spaceman lured through a jungle by a floating red diamond, hypnotized into removing his suit, and ending with him singing catatonically as he's spun up in a spiderweb. The concept paired beautifully with the song “Cozey,” which is about seduction and one's willingness to be seduced.
