Ciaran Megahey is the singer and Co-songwriter in the band Loveproof. He took on the role of directing, editing and shooting most of the band's videos himself with an iPhone. This includes 'Spires' (2023), 'A Song is Not Enough' (2024) and 'Even the Stars' (2024).
I began making videos for our songs as a way to market our music inexpensively but it quickly turned into a bit of an obsession. The videos rely a lot on classic icons and natural imagery in order to convey the lyrical ideas visually. I have directed 3 videos for the band so far using my iPhone along with various other fairly rudimentary equipment. Although the production values are small I believe the band are in the best position to represent our music visually as we understand it most intimately. Our songs are about a desire for spiritual meaning in a very mixed up and chaotic modern world. Our goal with these videos is to represent that passion and yearning visually.
