Screen grab from Gents Classic Cuts Barbershop.
Things are different on this side. Here is a return to the classic space of a barbershop.
S.07.2019
I was going to Gents Classic Cuts for months and never mentioned camera work. Honestly I didn't know if I could do it justice. It's so dope the meticulous details, and the vibe in this shop. I get teleported to a vintage era every time I walk in. I feel like that runner's high you get... that vibe Goku gets when he is about to get out of his time capsule. Just always wanted to be a fly on the wall and soak up the vibes of the shop in real time. This is how it feels to my eyes. Just felt the shop needed to be showcased in some way. I was going to do a feature piece inspired by the video below:
However, the guys at the shop decided to keep it simple and clean. They wanted a quicker turn around. I enjoyed the simplified ideas they had and their suggestions to have the second part of the video in black and white, to return to the classic space of a barbershop.
Their creative direction helped steam roll this into a return to the classic gents man cave we all know and love. I'd say this is an 80% done project. If I could finish it I would have the guys near some of their antique cars and just catch candid moments of them outside after they closed the shop.
