VMA 2016 | The Canvas Is Ready | MTV :60

Directed by Anthony Mandler and edited by Jarrett Fijal of Bonch Post, “The Canvas is Ready” foreshadows the arrival of the MTV VMA’s at Madison Square Garden. It is a skillful coming together of mystery and technology, as a “Moonman” completes his mission, the bare stage described as an empty canvas waiting for artists to make their mark. For Fijal, the moon landing is a familiar one: he is a three-time winner of the Moonman for Best Editor. Further, six of the past eight winners of the VMA for Video of the Year have been cut at Bonch Post. The latest is this year’s winner, Beyoncé “Formation”, edited by Jeff Selis. That means the boutique’s VMA Video of the Year honorees alone account for upwards of 3 billion views.
