A NEW BREED: Lessons with Toro y Moi - Part 5/5

  • Keep it real, keep it light, and take time to experiment: these are our three lessons in creativity as instructed by Chaz Bundick. And as a world-renowned musician performing under the titles Toro Y Moi, Les Sins, and Sides of Chaz, this guy should know.
    Director Liam MacRae transports us to the East shores of San Francisco Bay, where warm instrumentals evoke hazy waterside visuals. On a hike in the sunbathed hills of Berkeley, Chaz talks about the importance of honesty, his dog Michael, and nerding out on skate videos - all of which have influenced his creative manner.
    With a focus on the interplay of location and sound, music and visuals, MacRae and Bundick bring the west coast heat to the rest of us. Once the music starts, you’re anywhere but here.
    ABOUT A NEW BREED
    Times are changing, and a new breed of artists are closing the gap on their ambitions; relieved of obstacles that were hindering a decade ago. When a musician's Soundcloud uploads turn into a world tour, and a photographer's steady Instagram following evolves into an international campaign, it's clear to see that more than ever, being a creator is synonymous with being self-made.

    Man. 9 Years later... I used to be part of The Creator Class back when I was in high school and I still to this day want to know what the groovy song @9:00 is.... I still remember those days like it was yesterday. I was going through really tough time as a kid and this video brought me to life. From a kid, to a grown man. I STILL come back to this video. From the Email I got from the creator class as a kid, to them dropping a video with an artist I admire . I felt like I was at the top of the world. unfortunately The Creator Class is not the same as when i was a teen, But man do I still come back to this video once a year to bring those memories and passion for the arts back. Thank You TCC

    What I enjoy about his philosophies most and his honesty, is that it basically guarantees he's always going to make awesome music. His motivations are pure and because of that it is something that will always last. For some reason Ive always sensed that in his music, ever since i first picked up on him just over a year ago. It comes together more now. This was a great vid that really reflected him well. Good job.

    He doesn't let his title of musician compartmentalize his creativity to a box of audio based art. He's an artist. Graphic design/Musician. Why be solely defined by one title? It's fucking awesome that Chaz isn't just a one dimensional person. So much talent.

    This is amazing. I just finished watching the newest short film on his website (and Vimeo) and decided to see if there was any other stuff that I missed on him. This got past me somehow, but nonetheless is fantastic. Love this guy. Love what he had to say about skateboarding. I used all the time when I was little and slowly fell out of it. Recently have been looking to get a board and pick up the hobby again. Gotta wait till it gets warmer out though.

    What was the color grading process like for this video? The whole time I was watching it I thought it was shot with either 16mm or 35mm. Then I was astonished when I found out that it was filmed in digital. I assume that it involves around VisionColor LUTs? Or was it done completely manually? I really enjoyed the video, sensational music, filming, editing and especially the color! Toro y Moi is the man!
