"Beautiful execution. The cinematography matches the content perfectly." - Chase Jarvis

This short / music video was made specifically for the first ever Rode Rockumentary contest. Having interviewed Ronnie before for Castro's Lounge I knew he'd provide some entertaining soundbites interspersed with a great performance.

The contest rules required a short two minute video featuring their brand of microphones that would also showcase your skills as a director in order to win various prizes. I'm proud to say that this video was selected as a top ten finalist out of over 200 entries.
