Tom Woods
My Role: Designer, Videographer, Video Editor, Art Direction
Destination Lonely (2025)
Tom Wood’s recent return to Indie Pop is one again a peek into his personal diary. Seeing as he has been spending his days in Verona, Italy, we let the 300 year old artwork in his homestead do the talking on the cover.
A stripped down, live performance showcases his vulnerable lyric writing for his social media audience.
Market Research w/ tom woods
(2023)
Don’t let the carefully crafted, emotionally vulnerably bodies of work fool you, Tom Wood’s larger-than-life oddball persona knows no bounds. We let this side of him run wild in this man on the street style Q&A. To celebrate the release of his forthcoming album’s lead single, False Paradise, Tom put on his finest threads, and put his ear to the ground in the big city.
This fast paced video editing style lends itself to online virality, and we specifically structured the questions to be quick hitting and provacative. We figured there was no better place to interact with large personalities than his hometown, the downtown metropolitan Portland, OR area.
For this project, I co-scripted, solely filmed while monitoring audio, and edited the final product.
The two videos generated over 150k views on instagram.
Tom’s Market Research:
“global Figures”
(2024)
After the flying success of our first man on the street video, we decided to reboot the series with an Italian spinoff. We put the international palatability of his newly release album, The Prince, to the test by asking the local residents of Milan their thoughts.
Where the first video adopted an absurdist goofy tone, the sequel embraces a more wholesome, educational charm, similar to that of Disney’s Pass the Plate Commercial, or something you may find on your local PBS channel.
For this project, I outsourced videography, but still co-scripted, created animated elements, and edited the final product.
The Prince (2023-2024)
ABOVE: To introduce the world to Tom’s new era of upbeat, dreamy pop music, we used midday flash photography to emphasize the bright whites and deep colors of the sunkissed summertime in Eugene. We centered on rustic yet lush roadtrip destinations to evoke feelings of self exploration, contemplative loneliness, and the floaty changeover between the life stages of a vulnerable young adult.

BELOW: To further familiarize Tom’s audience with his lyric writing ability, and continue to flesh out the dreamy rustic world that this album exists in, we took and developed footage on my Canon ZR960 Mini DV tape camera. We wanted to capture the serene wildlife of the rural Oregon area outside of Eugene, but also his music studio and gritty metropolitan area of Portland that Tom inhabited in his formative years. Both areas played a significant role in Tom’s progression as an artist.
These visualizers were repurposed as Spotify Canvas videos and social media promo.

Tom’s label, Endless Sunday, required promotion photos to be taken for his first major release with them. I fully styled the outfits that we captured by the PDX based photographer, Mason Miles.
