I Wonder :: Teaser

I Wonder :: Teaser from Ra on Vimeo.

I directed my first music video, and here's the teaser. The song: "I Wonder". Beat by Kanye West. Album: Edo's Japanese Graffiti Vol. 2. I can't wait to show the world the entire video, but being that I'm on a hiatus, it's been taking longer than expected. It's just the shit that artists go through. Sometimes we feel it, sometimes we don't. At least that's how i feel....

As for the video, it was a nice little experiment in the world of directing. I had an awesome team, thanks to Jeremy, Mark .T, Jared, Todd, Sean, Mark S. & Yas. I was told that i was well prepared, and honestly, for a rookie, I'd say i did a good job in orchestrating all of this. Don was very easy to work with, but that's also because he works with me on the regular, along with his natural talent to exaggerate his personality.

The scene here takes place at Bob's Circle-A skate shop in downtown San Jose. Bob even makes a cameo in the video and plays Don's Boss, where they share a very comedic moment. For my first experience Directing, i realized the best part is right after the shoot is all done. It's very enlightening, and I can't wait to do it again. Be on the look out for the final video very, very soon.
