“PRAY FOR ‘EM”
Butterfly Ali

Titus had a vision from the very beginning on what kind of story he wanted to tell through the visuals to his song, Pray For ‘Em. I worked quickly to start scouting locations with Rebi by spending the day driving around Santa Clarita in hopes to find some cool abandoned locations. With no luck, we drove around Malibu and came across the amazing Labyrinth location that overlooks the ocean. We also went to the open field location, which I had found previously for a shoot I did a year ago in a similar spot.

I split this shoot into 2 days. The first day would just be Austin Hughes, Christian Colwell, and Rebi Jordan setting up in one location and then running to two exterior locations around Malibu, California. The second day would be filming in two different stages in Downtown LA with BuffNerd’s very own, Tom Taugher, who I had the pleasure of working on some mutual sets in college.
