JJ Shiplett - "Waiting on the Rain"

Official music video for JJ Shiplett's first single "Waiting On The Rain" on his new EP titled "Fingers Crossed".

Because the song is a moving, raw and retrospective song, I wanted to make a simple video showing JJ's vulnerability. With this one take/performance piece, you can't escape the song, the lyrics and the honesty of the song especially with JJ's performance.

Filmed with the Panasonic EVA_I, with Sigma Cine Prime 35mm and using a Cinegears Wireless Follow Focus as well as the Kessler Cineslider with Timelapse Motor to achieve the slow move out and in.

Huge thanks to JJ Shiplett for believing in the concept and having the guts to stare at a camera 30 some-odd times!
