Limerence

So... like... this is my first video project and it wasn't a cake walk to make. Up and downs, self doubt, others doubt, taking smack talk, smack talking myself but it finally got done. In Fantastic Mr Fox Felicity Fox tells Foxy that they're poor, but they're happy. Um... this applies to this project as well, no budget, getting kicked off tennis courts and having to pay spot fines of R200 from a guy looking to buy a new black hummer thong. Massive respect to all involved we DID IT!

The video is Limerence, song by my favourite artists in SA Voicetag, this probably should be labelled nepotism, if we don't learn from our government who will? The beat was made by Richard III and is way too beautiful. Anyway, I had the opportunity to work with the dream team and we finally have something to show for it. It was a concerted team effort and the video I think speaks for itself.

Adam and I were going for a simple complexity with the video which I believe we were able to achieve. Not easy, a lot of labour went into achieving this, a lot of shooting, a lot of footage and a lot of negotiation.
