Description

BE CAREFUL KYLE was produced over a few days shortly before Jacob Ciocci and Kent Lambert discussed their work with Scott Wolniak in a webinar for the University of Chicago's Local Produce series. Jacob sent some clips to Kent, who roughed out a basic structure and added an improvised guitar score. Jacob finished the piece off with some motion graphics and image processing magic. The video owes its tone to the general dread and paranoia of the early pandemic lockdown, and to the consolatory pleasure of first-time collaboration.
