CROOKED SYSTEM OF PSALMS ‪@SHMACKD4‬ MUSIC VIDEO

2 min read

This project

This one was simple.

I made a music video.

No big setup. No overproduction. Just an idea, a camera, and a decision to actually follow through.

But the reason behind it mattered more than the video itself.


What This Video Is Really About

On the surface, it’s just a music video.

But underneath, it’s about belief.

Not in the work, but in the person behind it.


Why I Made This

Mack is one of my closest friends.

And like a lot of people, he doesn’t fully see his own potential yet.

I walked in from work, looked at him, and said:
“Give me two hours. I’ll have a video done for you.”

Not because everything was perfect.
Not because we had some crazy setup.

But because I knew we didn’t need it.


The Process

This was as raw as it gets.

No drawn-out planning. No waiting for the right moment.

Just:

  • show up
  • shoot
  • put something together

Fast decisions. Real energy. No excuses.


Key Takeaway

You don’t need the fancy gear.

You don’t need the perfect setup.

You need a vision.
And you need enough faith to act on it.

That’s it.


Reflection

A lot of people are waiting.

Waiting until they have better equipment.
More time. More money. More confidence.

And they never start.

This was a reminder that none of that is required.

If you see something in yourself, or in someone else, move on it.

Build it. Create it. Prove it.
