Summary
I supported the release of Tech N9ne’s album 5816 Forest by creating social-first promotional content, filming behind-the-scenes mini-docs, and documenting Tech N9ne’s creative process as he wrote and recorded multiple songs for the album while on tour.

 

Context & Problem

Tech N9ne’s 5816 Forest was both a highly anticipated album and a unique creative opportunity, with portions of the project being written and recorded while touring as support for Falling in Reverse. Strange Music needed a steady stream of promotional and behind-the-scenes content that captured not only the music but the making of the music on the road, offering fans a rare inside look at Tech N9ne’s artistry.

• Filmed behind-the-scenes sessions of Tech N9ne writing, recording, and collaborating on songs while traveling.

• Captured live performance footage and backstage content to blend the touring and recording narratives.

• Produced timely edits to feed into the album’s marketing pipeline and social media campaigns.

 

Process

• Coordinated with Tech N9ne and his team to identify key creative moments to document.

• Filmed in diverse environments (tour buses, studios on the road, backstage, and “off-day” excursions).

• Edited social-first deliverables optimized for vertical formats and quick turnaround.

• Balanced ongoing tour content (shows, meet & greets) with deeper storytelling of the album’s creative development.

 

Solution & Deliverables

• Social-ready promotional videos and short-form edits tied to the 5816 Forest campaign.

• Documentary-style BTS content showing Tech N9ne writing and recording songs while on tour.

• Live performance content integrated into the campaign to highlight both tour and album energy.

 

Results & Impact

• Provided fans with unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the making of 5816 Forest.

• Strengthened the album campaign by blending touring life with the creative process.

• Reinforced Strange Music’s reputation for delivering authentic and engaging multimedia promotion.

 

Reflection

This project showcased my ability to capture the creative process in real time under challenging conditions, from tour buses to late-night recording sessions. It taught me how to balance fast-turnaround social content with long-form documentary storytelling — all while traveling and keeping pace with a high-energy tour.
