Detrás de las escenas de mi video musical para "Que Sera"

Hola soñadores!

¡Ya está aquí! El video musical de "Que Sera", el primer sencillo de mi album "El Camino Espiritual".

Ayer vi la edicion final y tengo que decir que fue un momento muy emocional.

Esta canción es una canción muy personal para mí en muchos sentidos. En realidad lo escribí para una ex-compañero de mi sello discografico (Darlene) y la cancion estaba selecionada para ser su segundo sencillo. Desafortunadamente, ella y el sello se separaron antes de que eso sucedio. Sentí que la canción era demasiado buena para no ser oído en una escala más grande, así que la tomé para mi propio álbum y decidi hacerla mi primer sencillo, ya que es un buen indicador de los sentimientos que muestro en mi álbum. Esta es una canción muy triste, de una pérdida profunda. Una pérdida tan profunda que se hace tu mundo y te deja sin aliento. Es una canción muy emocional y sentí que el video tenía que representar esto. Pense en muchos conceptos diferentes para el vídeo. Fue difícil reducirlo a lo que yo quería que el video da a mostrar y representar sobre mi sentidos. Al final, me decidí por hacer un video muy sencillo y tratando de centrarse en la emoción y el dolor de la canción con tan sólo una historia sencilla.

En caso de que no lo he visto todavía, no quiero dar muchos detalles - pues ve a verlo ahora en mi canal de Youtube y luego vuelve a leer el resto de esto para que pueda tener una mejor comprensión de lo que estoy hablando. A continuación, ir a verlo una y otra vez y dile a todos tus amigos pra que ellos lo puedan ver también! ;)

Quiero que todos ustedes llegen a sus propias ideas de lo que la canción y la historia del vídeo representa a usted, pero para decirte un poco - las flores representan la belleza de lo que fue y entonces usted ve la representación visual de la angustia y la pérdida en las flores. Mis escenas en el cuarto amarillo representa el personaje de la canción desnuda y mostrando su corazón y alma como en las letras. Las escenas de el cuarto oscuro representa la oscuridad y la desesperación de las emociones que se encuentran en el coro de la cancion. Dejaré el resto de la historia para que usted pueda decidir lo que sacas de las escenas. Me encantaría escuchar sus ideas sobre lo que el video junto con la canción significa para usted así que por favor, hágamelo saber por dejando un comentario en la página del vídeo y en mi página de Facebook. Espero que le guste! :)

Behind the scenes of my "Que sera" music video

Hi dreamers!

It's finally here! The music video for "Que sera", the first single off of my "El Camino Espiritual" album.

I just saw the final cut yesterday and I must say it was an emotional moment.

This song is a very personal song to me in a lot of ways. I actually wrote it for a former label-mate (Darlene) and it was supposed to be her second single. Unfortunately, she and the label parted ways before that happened. I felt that this song was too good to not be heard on a bigger scale so I took it for my own album and decided to make it my first single as it is a good indication of the feelings I show on my album. This is a very sad song about a profound loss. A loss so deep that it takes you over and leaves you without breath. It's a very deep emotional song and I felt that the video had to represent this. I went through so many different concepts for the video. It was hard to narrow it down to what I wanted the video to show and represent. In the end, I decided on keeping it simple and trying to focus on the emotion and pain of the song with just a simple story as a backdrop.

In case you haven't seen it yet, I don't want to give away the details so go see it now on my Youtube channel and then come back to read the rest of this so you can have a better understanding of what I'm talking about. Then go see it again and again and let your friends know to go see it too!! ;)

I want you all to come up with your own ideas of what the song and video's story represents to you but to tell you a little - the flowers represent the beauty of what once was and then you see the visual representation of the heartbreak and loss on the flowers. My yellow room scenes represent the character in the song naked and baring his heart & soul in the lyrics. The dark room scenes represent the darkness and despair of the emotions being sung about. I will leave the rest of the story for you to decide what you make of it. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what the video along with the song means to you so please let me know by leaving a comment on the video's page and on my Facebook page. I hope you like it!! :)

Music video taping

Dreamers y sonadores,

Snow. At the beach in the winter. Priceless. I was filming scenes for my music video for my single "Que Sera" earlier today. That was cool. That it snowed during the scenes was a really nice touch by Mother Nature to fit in with the lyrics. I hope you all can see it in the video. The scenes look really cool so far. Can't wait for you to see the finished product!!

Video storyboarding!

Hey Dreamers y sonadores!

I'm working on video storyboards today! This is a fun first part in making a music video where we map out the scenes and ideas to the music & lyrics. You get to see how many seconds you have for each scene and how it will all flow together before actually filming any of it. Then when it comes time to shoot the video you have this roadmap to follow and know which scenes to shoot first or which scenes can be shot together, etc. It's all part of the creative process of making a music video! :)
