VIDEOGRAPHY:
J-KARI ‘SEASONS’ MUSIC VIDEO

J-KARI, 2021

Nikon D500, 28mm, 50mm, Premiere Pro



This video translated J-Kari’s ‘Seasons’ into a visual study of reflection, confrontation, and growth.

I planned, directed, produced, shot, graded, and edited the piece, using mirrored compositions to depict dual versions of the artist, suggesting introspection and internal tension.

Simple urban locations such as walkways, trains, and city architecture grounded the narrative in everyday life rather than spectacle.

Slow, controlled camera movement, natural light, and film-emulated grading created a calm, contemplative tone aligned with the track’s emotional pacing.

Shot on a Nikon D500 with 28mm and 50mm lenses, the edit follows the rhythm closely, using subtitles and cutaways to reinforce meaning.
