i’ve got nothing but gratitude to show the people behind this production. omar cervantes, the director, knew exactly what he wanted to do with this video, took that idea, and ran with it the entire time. our cinematographer, jun aves, followed every detail and no doubt made each scene look exquisite. rommel malimban and jj purugganan will be taking care of post-production, and from what i’ve seen in them, they’re gonna turn what we’ve shot into a real work of art.
and, he’s not part of the production team, but i MUST say thank you to my manager, henry onglatco, for financing the whole thing! he believes in me so much it’s scary! hahaha! and ofcourse we wouldn’t even have a venue if it weren’t for jesse and mags david’s hookups (yet again)! they also gave me a whole bunch of mossimo clothes, which you will see in the video. too bad i can’t wear them on a day-to-day basis when the vid comes out. people are gonna be like, “didn’t she wear that in the video?” argh...but still, i’m LOVIN’ the free clothes.
at the end of the shoot, they had me do some spiels for a behind-the-scenes thingamajig for MYX. the director had me explain what the whole thing was about and, looking back on what i said, i think i sounded really stupid! i blame it totally on my sleep deprivation so now i must try to redeem myself here. the video is for one of the covers i did, you’re the inspiration, which was popularized by chicago in the 1980s. i’m one of those people who love irony, so i didn’t hesitate to suggest a tragic ending for this video. while it didn’t turn out to be a greek tragedy, it ended in a kind of unexpected way. the story is really very simple and it’s been told a thousand times. but what will make it different is how we tell it.
well i am so excited to see the final product. and i REALLY need to get cable installed at my place so i can actually watch this thing on TV!
now that i’ve revealed the secret of the location, i want to share its beauty with everyone. log on to http://www.haciendaisabella.com to see more of its jewels and to find out how you can make reservations.
