The first music video to use Google's 3D mapping tech

I forged a partnership with Google Earth while making this music video for the lead singer of Timeflies, a pop duo with over a billion Spotify streams. Google gave us first access to use their new 3D mapping software at Google Earth Studio, allowing me to direct the first ever music video made with the groundbreaking tech.
Using the software, we were able to digitally place aerial cameras anywhere we wanted over California to make this video for Cal’s "So Cal". I heard about the new Google tool in its early days via a chat room. After I posted there, someone from Google wrote back, which is how I became one of the first to use the tech.

RELEASE CAMPAIGN
I worked as Cal’s creative director for his first EP roll-out campaign, directing the above music video and developing the visual identity for his solo career debut. Cal rose to fame as the lead singer of the band Timeflies, a pop duo with over a billion streams, before starting his solo career with this project. After working with Google on his first music video, I created the design and photo concepts for his single art, EP cover and dozens of other visuals, then managed the team that brought those ideas to life.
