Two weeks ago I got to experience shooting my first music video and it was quite an experience! A very gifted young filmmaker Amy Daneel approached me to make a video for Take You Back and we spend a few weeks brainstorming ideas of how to approach the song in a fun way that still portrayed a positive message for women choosing not to go back to relationships that don't serve them.
Amy came up with the concept of various men popping up wherever I went with flowers, chocolates, presents etc and desperately trying to get my attention. Using some pretty cool techniques she shot it in a way that the literally pop in and out of each scene and I just keep doing my thing. We then ended up with myself and whole group of women walking down the street singing and all these men chasing after us begging to be taken back. It was a blast!
I managed to rope in some of Cape Town's best actors to help out and Paul Harris, Pierre Malherbe, Kevin Otto, Karl Thanning, Rory Berry and Guy McDonald did a fantastic job of looking love sick and apologetic! I also had some gorgeous women join me in taking our power back and seeing them sing "no no no" to the camera was hilarious! Amy also brought in some fantastic guys and girls & it was incredible to have so many people give of their time to help us get the video finished!
It is being edited so I can't wait to post it as soon as it is done! Here are few dodgey pics of my cell phone to give you taste...
