Lovers
Land is a music video project I sequenced and edited. The director of
photographer gave me the opportunity to cut and edit the raw footage they shot
during their video shoot. I was hired as an editor from a producer named Seantu
Miles who is a good friend of mine. The artist that was involved with the music
video is Kay Renee featuring Saint Maurice.
Prior
to editing this music video, I was giving a specific date to finish the project
so that Kay Renee can promote her new single for her album she is currently
working on. I went through several of revisions with the client to understand
what they were actually looking for.
My
process of editing this video was pretty simple. I gathered all the raw footage
and organized them from wide shots, to close ups, to group shots and so on.
Then I synced every shot to the actual music called “Lovers Land.” Once
everything was synced correctly, all I had to do was follow the story board
that I was assigned. Along with the story they were trying to portray, they
also wanted certain people who were family members to be seen on this video.
Who doesn’t want to be in a music video?
After
editing and sequencing the whole music video, I titled the footage and then
gave it to the after effects and motion graphics artists to make finalizations
to the sequence I delivered. Overall this was my very first music video I was
able to work on. Given the opportunity to work with Seantu Miles, Kay Renee
(who is Nikki Minaj’s background singer), and Saint Maurice (who acted in the Disney
channel) gave me a boost of confidence early on in my career. This video was
edited and produced early 2013.
