Up Close: Mayer/Leyva
The digital provocateurs say they “just want to make stuff” and talk about where OneFifty fits in.
Jillian Mayer and Lucas Leyva are digital artists / Youtube stars featured in Time Warner’s new incubator One Fifty. Being part of this incubator allows them to explore creative ideas beyond traditional storytelling. We filmed Mayer/Leyva in about 4 hours. We started off with the interview to get some great sound bytes. Of course the usual delays occurred including landscaping vehicles and garbage trucks constantly making noise and delaying the interview. After a persistent process, we finally work around the distractions and got the gold. Afterwards e followed them to a creative area where they worked on some obscure photography projects and edited their latest film. This is a short vignette of Mayer/Leyva’s story featured on Time Warner’s One Fifty site.
Before filming this, we conducted a short pre-interview via phone with the duo to gather ideas for the interview and supporting b-roll.
