Music Video Director Portfolio - Emily Kai Block

Emily Kai Bock is a young director, artist, and photographer. She's worked with artists such as Grimes, Arcade Fire, Grizzly Bear (of Animal Collective), Majical Cloudz, and others who mainly fall under the general umbrella of experimental indie. The majority of her work draws inspiration from portrait photography as opposed to conventional film. So her videos often have the appearance of a beautifully shot documentary. She'd be a good source of inspiration to our video because a lot of her shots tend to be of wide, open spaces, which would really help cement the feelings which we're trying to portray. She also has some amazing work playing around with human silhouettes, which is another feature we'll try to incorporate in the Take A Fall For Me video.

She makes a strong case as to why you should shoot on film, something which we're not doing. That being said, I hope we can emulate some of the shots she uses, for example the silhouette work done in the Majical Cloudz video to the left.
