rotate was a project that defined "teamwork makes the dream work". Working off of an essentially $0 budget, the artists and I managed to put together a piece of work that expresses various eras of hip-hop, from early 2000's to modern day. being the one and only cinematographer on set, I guided the team through the motions to create the most energy and sense of excitement as possible throughout the video. despite multiple plans falling through and having to endure the hectic environment of downtown portland, we ended up creating an extremely stimulating final product.
