.work summary

These are the music videos I've made purely for the love of it. Music matters to me, so I've always wanted some of my work to live inside it, and the way in has been partnering with friends who make music and building visuals for their songs. Most of these were spec or passion projects, made outside of any brief.

Multiply (MUTUALS) — An unreleased MUTUALS music video where I was the all-around director, cinematographer, and editor. The duo broke up before it came out, but the shoot holds some of my favorite visuals I've made, shown here as soundless clips. Credits: Direction, cinematography & editing by Brandon Carrillo. MUTUALS is Timothy Walton and Jess Larson. Talent: Big Sir, Devon Hughes, Marianette. Thanks: Jared Overstreet, Tevin Jackson.

Anxiety (Satellite Citi) — A larger production where I was the art director and production designer, working with a full crew. I handled wardrobe and props and scouted the location to plan scenes, and I created the recurring horror vignettes that thread through the video. This was earlier in AI-generated imagery: most of the vignettes were generated with Stable Diffusion or Midjourney and then animated traditionally in After Effects, an early, hands-on experiment that taught me a lot about pairing new tools with real craft. Credits: Directed by Rosie Geozalian. Produced by Matthew James Reilly. Cinematography by Marlon Begue. Art Direction + AI animation by Brandon Carrillo. Edited by Anna Gevorkian. Cast: Antic, Armen Perian, Carene Rose Mekertichyan, Melanie Hawkins, Michael Johansson, Ryan Pressman. 1st AD: Armen Perian. 1st AC: Steven Gutierrez. Gaffer: Andy Cao. Key Grip: Alex Wisniewski. Still Photographer: Shant Rising. HMU: Silvia Koshkarian. Set Dresser: Melanie Hawkins. Security: Greg Torossian. Special Thanks: Elen Kamberian, Natalie Torossian, Rouben Sulahian, Sako Kamberian, Skiptown Playhouse, West Valley Recording.
