While he has a distinguished track record as an editor–as seven AICP Show-honored inclusions into the permanent film archives at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, would attest–Jonathan Del Gatto of Foundation Content, Chicago and Los Angeles, is no stranger to directing. While continuing to edit, he has found time between cutting to take on select helming gigs which include web content for United Airlines, a PSA for Inside Out/Venice Community Arts Center, and an interview piece with musician Herbie Hancock (also for United Airlines).
Last week he broke new directorial ground with the debut of his first music video (edited by Anna Patel of Foundation, L.A.), “Cameras,” for Matt & Kim.
The clip shows Matt on keyboard and Kim on drums in session when she accidentally knocks a drum into a microphone which hits Matt, disrupting his performance. This spurs some tossing of objects, first in a playful manner but then their musical “food fight” escalates into an all-out battle with fists flying and instruments being thrown about, making a shambles of the room and in fact breaking through to another room which expands the fight–only now Matt and Kim are a team again, punching out the guy musicians in the second room.
Stacy Paris produced for Foundation Content. DP was Helge Gerull.
The video debuted last week on MTV and its affiliate channels as well as online.
Disney Pledges $15 million In L.A. Fire Aid As More Celebs Learn They’ve Lost Their Homes
The Pacific Palisades wildfires torched the home of "This Is Us" star Milo Ventimiglia, perhaps most poignantly destroying the father-to-be's newly installed crib.
CBS cameras caught the actor walking through his charred house for the first time, standing in what was once his kitchen and looking at a neighborhood in ruin. "Your heart just breaks."
He and his pregnant wife, Jarah Mariano, evacuated Tuesday with their dog and they watched on security cameras as the flames ripped through the house, destroying everything, including a new crib.
"There's a kind of shock moment where you're going, 'Oh, this is real. This is happening.' What good is it to continue watching?' And then at a certain point we just turned it off, like 'What good is it to continue watching?'"
Firefighters sought to make gains Friday during a respite in the heavy winds that fanned the flames as numerous groups pledged aid to help victims and rebuild, including a $15 million donation pledge from the Walt Disney Co.
More stars learn their homes are gone
While seeing the remains of his home, Ventimiglia was struck by a connection to his "This Is Us" character, Jack Pearson, who died after inhaling smoke in a house fire. "It's not lost on me life imitating art."
Mandy Moore, who played Ventimiglia's wife on "This Is Us," nearly lost her home in the Eaton fire, which scorched large areas of the Altadena neighborhood. She said Thursday that part of her house is standing but is unlivable, and her husband lost his music studio and all his instruments.
Mel Gibson's home is "completely gone," his publicist Alan Nierob confirmed Friday. The Oscar winner revealed the loss of his home earlier Friday while appearing on Joe Rogan's... Read More
