VIDEOS/DIRECTING
Throughout my life I've made both music and visuals.
Musically, I started out as a bassist playing in bands; over time I grew into a multi-instrumentalist/composer/producer.
Visually, I began as an oil painter/printmaker, later moving into video work with motion graphics/animation.
Over the last few years I've started bringing these two worlds together, integrating the scope of my creative output. Selected projects can be viewed here.
Notably, the 2018-2020 live dates for my group Insect Ark featured a 45-minute animated video projection which I created specifically for our live shows.
All music and video works on this page were written/performed/directed/animated by Dana Schechter.
These selections are not my traditional film/TV jobs, but labors of love, related directly to the music that I call my own.
When a work was done collaboratively, credits are listed on each video's source page.
Commercial/Feature Film/Animation work is here
Other musical projects I'm involved in, past/present, are here
