Direk!

Today I wanted to post about something interesting and about something not many bands and artists have been privileged to do. I'm talking about making a music video. Complete with the "lights,camera and the action"! My experience with making a video is definitely one that I
will remember till the day I die. It's probably gonna be one of those memories that will flash before my eyes when I'm hanging on to dear life. (knock on wood!)

But let me tell you about the guy who helped make our video what it is. The man with the vision, the guy who made our ugly mugs look kinda cool on camera. He is Mr.Odin Fernandez, the awesome director behind our THEA video as well as several other badass vids from other badass bands. Odin is a great director to work with, well actually he's the first director we worked with =P, but still it being our first time to make a video he pretty much took it easy on us. Or I think so! Our performance shots alone were more than 20 takes. Believe me, it is extremely tiring! I dunno how the foreign bands do it. Having to give 100% performance level on each take just to get those great shots. And not to mention the heat of those giant lights, even standing still
you'd sweat like you jogged for hours.

But Odin gave us a breather every other take just to recharge our batteries which were pretty
much drained by the 10th take. I don't know how his other video shoots went but with the look of the finished products you know Odin is really damn good. Odin is a really serious director who plans early with the artist of what he thinks could be good for the video. He's really
really serious as you can see in this picture of him.

Some of Odin's works are Boy Elroy's "Out of control",Cog's
"Collapse",Sin's "Amorphosis"(SUPER BADASS!!!) and of course our own
video "To hold everything above". If anyone is interested in getting
Odin for a project just call or text him at 09176201550

It's really hard to describe exactly how it felt to make a video, especially on a very restricting budget, but one thing I can say is that it was worth every drop of sweat and every painful joint.
