== Music videos and awards ==
In 2011, Bucci was selected as Staff Pick on Vimeo for his short “Addictions.” 
In 2014, Bucci won a UK Film Festival Awardand a Silver Telly Award for Best Music Video for Korn's highly stylized "Never Never," a video in which the band is performing on a CGI clock, and battle the witch that controls the inexorable hand of time. He went on to win an American Movie Award for Best Music Video for Korn’s next release, “Love & Meth." 
In November of 2018, Bucci released the first music video for his band ODDKO: “Disobey,” which was praised by magazines such as Consequence of Sound, and Dread Central and won a Silver Telly for Art Direction, and a Bronze for Best Music Video, as well as Best Metal Video and Best Horror Video, with a Nomination for Visually Stunning, at the LA Music Video Awards. Dan Sarto of AWN said about Bucci's style: "[it has a] Sleek, stylized visual design, stark, provocative subject matter, broodingly dark color schemes and a judicious use of jump cuts - the kind that, after repeated viewing, make it suddenly seem plausible your cat has been trying to suffocate you as you sleep [...]"
In June of 2019, Bucci directed the Fleshgod Apocalypse music video, “Sugar,” and shortly thereafter Bucci was also called upon to direct their next video, “Monnalisa,” which Francesco Paoli called “a cinematic video that looks as good as a high-end fashion film.”
In Summer of 2020, quite topically, Bucci released the post-apocalyptic music video “D4TM," which he created for his band ODDKO, and which portrays how humans can be misled by the big promises of pharmaceuticals..
