I let my pen caress the pages, while my emotions lubricate my thoughts. Music has always been my passion. Just never got a chance to tell my story.
First and foremost, let me say I had an exceptional team of creative thinkers. We wanted to get outside the box as much as possible, so we listened to the song countless of times (literally day and night) We studied other videos & talent for inspiration. Then the process began before my team and I planned anything we set an EXACT budget then we found a location based on the theme of the video. We then created a storyboard to determine what equipment would be needed for each scene. Then we found our film crew and we let the magic happen and birthed a beautiful project.
