Exterminator music video
My love for music videos and dance inspired me to write, produce, and direct a comedic music video that revolved around the character of an exterminator. Drawing inspiration from real-life situations and injecting humor into the storyline, I aimed to create a parody that would resonate with viewers while still feeling authentic. Through meticulous attention to detail in the production, choreography, and set design, I sought to bring this comedic vision to life, blending elements of comedy and music in a way that would be a little weird and entertaining.

Set design
Drawing inspiration from artists like Roy Lichtenstein and M.C. Escher, I designed the set for the music video at Parlay studio using solely black masking tape. By embracing the simplicity and versatility of the tape, I created a an environment that played with optical illusions, perspective, and bold graphic elements.
Storyboards
With an attention to detail, I created storyboards for every scene in the comedic music video, mapping out the sequence of shots and characters' actions. These storyboards served as a visual roadmap, ensuring smooth transitions and capturing the comedic essence of each scene.
