I had the opportunity to edit Paris Hilton’s music video for her song “Heartbeat.”

This song actually came out in 2006 but Paris wanted to do a re-boot for Valentine’s Day 2020! I received a slew of footage from her shoot, photographed by colleague and DP Philipe Alexander. What made the edit easy was how Paris nailed the lip synching… she was on point throughout the entire shoot for all the different fashion looks. What made the edit difficult was the color-grade process. Glow filters, skin re-touching, and color-correction were tedious, GPU-unfriendly tasks but the time and effort were worth it in the end, to give Paris her ethereal and heavenly aura.
