Katie Armiger "Safe" (Justin Baldoni, dir.)

The OFFICIAL video for country music's new darling, Katie Armiger, is a narrative based video (a rarity in country music) created in tribute to first responders ad their families.  Director Justin Baldoni, in full fire gear and an Alexa in hand, entered the burning structure in 800 degree heat to shoot the live action fire. No VSFX necessary in this one.  The burn was created to maximize flame and smoke to convey the intensity of a real fire rescue.

Justin Baldoni Puts His Music Video Directing Skills To Use For His Marriage Proposal

Ladies beware: This is how a music video director proposes...

It's nearly :30 minutes long — including end credits —  but don't go thinking it's just a hidden camera piece: Director Justin Baldoni takes things into some spot-on pop video parodies about five minutes in, before returning to the business at hand.

PS: Congrats, Justin!
