gravity sleeps

Gravity Sleeps is a creative collaboration and media production company founded by Samuel Baumel and Wesley Wingo. In addition to music videos and narrative film, Gravity Sleeps is well-versed in documentary, interactive, and commercial work. Our work has been featured on NPR, Pitchfork, Esquire, and has screened at the Cannes Film Festival.

Visual storytelling is the tool we use to engage with our world. It is the heir to the communal campfire which drew countless generations around its embracing, flickering glow; and we take that tradition a little too seriously.

Additional services offered: RED MX / RED EPIC / Canon HDSLR rental. Audio Equipment rental. Insurance / Permit / Payroll / Guild consultation.

Not one, but FOUR new Ducky videos this week!?!

Last weekend’s Steve G. shoot was almost as much fun as a trip to Chuck E. Cheese…almost. Check out more behind-the-scenes photos on our Facebook page.

A Behind-the-Scenes peek from our Grand Duchy “Silver Boys” shoot. On KarmaLoop TV

We tried to get Emilio Estevez to make a cameo, but we got this duck instead.  The bird responded nicely to direction and really channeled a striking Donald. 

Visualizations for DUCKY coming soon. Get ready for a quack attack.

SPIN is about to debut a Gravity Sleeps video…and we’re pretty stoked about it.
Grand Duchy features the legendary Frank Black of the Pixies and vocal stunner Violet Clark. The shoot for their latest track, “Silver Boys,” was one helluva good time…things got strange, sumptuous and SILVER.
We were lucky to have some badass collaborators and cameos. Thanks to all, especially director, Alex de Campi, as well as Michael Halsband, Justin Warfield and Candi Stratton.  View high resolution
