Jackson McLaren And The Triple Threat - This Be The Place



So here it is , A few months ago i had the rare treat of going to New Zealand to shoot the music video for jackson . Honestly that counties beauty does more than half the work for you , all you need do is point the camera and keep it in focus and your done.. a majority of the clip was shot in the lovely queenstown area


The clip was based upon St Francis of Assisi ( of course ) , when i was young my sibling and I would always watch the movie brother son , sister moon about st francis leaving his modern world and going into the hills and building a church out of the rocks from the near by cliffs..I guess it really stuck with me , so when asked to come up with a concept this idea ( during a cough medicine high ) came to me and luckily they said yes...

A lot happened during the making of this , notably a blizzard where i was left in thongs and shorts , but on a whole it was an amazing experience ...here's hoping a sequel is wanted..

below is the blizzard at Queenstown airport
