In order to capture each artist in their element Ted constructed on-set VO booths inside of each artists studio on the day of the shoot. The result is an intimate look into the working environments of three prolific creators at the top of their game. Check out joshua davis below.

“Reports are streaming in that people are being whisked away from their schools, dead-end jobs, and boring family trips by a man in a flying car. Now our lines are ringing off the hook with the resounding question– Where are they going, and who is behind all this???”
Sean Cooney has released a new video for his hot summer jam “California,” a single off his 2012 release, The Last Thing I Heard Before the Zombie Apocalypse. View it right here on Cooney’s YouTube channel.
Blending the sounds of Katy Perry and T-Pain with all of the party of Andrew WK, Sean is a serious singer with a crystal-clear voice and a songwriter-producer with a tremendous talent for creating infectious pop.
This video is the co-directorial debut for Cory Choy and Fletcher Wolfe, who met in New York University’s film school and have been best buddies ever since. Wolfe is a freelance director of photography and gaffer whose credits include the Barry Levinson/Al Pacino feature film The Humbling, the 2014 SXSW feature Late Phases, and music videos for Rush Midnight and Metric. Choy is a founding member of Silver Sound, and he has become increasingly involved in producing music videos as the director of the Silver Sound Music Video Film Festival + Band Battle, now entering its sixth year.
“California” is a celebration of summertime fun and freedom. It follows Cooney on a Pied Piper journey across America in a flying car and culminates in a kickin’ beach party. Imagery inspired by flower power, glam rock, and teen classics from Blue Hawaii to Rock & Roll High School captures the spirit of youth revolt.
Photographer Nathan Jones captured beautiful behind-the-scenes photographs, including the following. You can see all of them here and here.
