With this project, I found myself in completely new territory. When Creative Director Stipe Braun came to me with his vision for Red Bull Symphonic, I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting into. But the idea of blending classical music by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and the driving drum & bass of Camo & Krooked instantly pulled me in — especially the idea of celebrating Johann Strauss’s 200th birthday with a show at Vienna’s legendary Konzerthaus.

That’s how it all came together: Stipe and I brought this baby to life side by side, combining his creative live show and music film vision with my filmmaking experience. A true creative exchange at eye level — fourteen ARRI cameras with Canon Cine glas, light by Thomas Kloibhofer, a feast of visuals and lasers by Jasha Suess — cinematic multicam at its best.

It was a leap of faith — but one I’d jump again any time.
