Gratitude

Pianist YoungMin You has cultivated a massive online following for his beautifully cinematic covers of popular worship songs. We partnered with him on his most ambitious project yet - an orchestral mashup of "Gratitude" and "Nothing But The Blood," performed on a helipad in the middle of downtown Atlanta.

Due to the limitations of the space, we slimmed production down a nimble two-camera setup, and fired off takes as the sun went down. The final video reflects the implicit narrative arc in YoungMin’s musical arrangement - taking viewers on a journey from tension/darkness to triumph/light.

  • "A truly rare breed, Kevin doesn't just produce and deliver top quality work that rivals the best in the industry, he's also humble and an absolute joy to work with.

    From our very first meeting, Kevin championed me, my team, and our ideas. He took thorough notes at each step of the process, was always organized, and communicated clearly with everyone involved. So it was no surprise when our video turned out even better than I could have hoped for or imagined.

    From start to finish, it was a joy and a privilege to work with Kevin and his team. I can't recommend Cloudfire enough."
