HUMAN LIFE - IN IT TOGETHER
Directed by Dan Brophy & Jay Barry Matthews
Big Love ft. Mel Jade - Jump (Music Video)
Three weeks ago i was contacted by my favourite Melbourne director Mr. Dan Brophy. Dan explained to me that he was shooting a music video in a week's time and asked if i was interested in getting involved. Having worked for Dan in the past, it was a no brainer and i jumped at the opportunity, he told me that i would receive all the details throughout the week.
The night before the shoot i still hadn't received any information regarding the scheduling except that it was being shot in a warehouse around Prahran. Fortunately, later that night Dan gave me a call and delivered me a location and a time. Once arriving there the following day i'd learnt that in the space of a week Dan had found and secured a warehouse for the day, hired a camera crew, organised a makeup artist, taken care of costumes/wardrobe and put together a cast of 10-13 young people who would bring his concept to life. Usually this process would take a lot longer and it really goes to show that Dan can make something special out of nothing.
Big Love is DJ/Producer Anthony James. Traditionally putting out vocal house type stuff, "Jump" to me has a more minimal/dubstep feel. Combined with the vocals of singer Melanie Jade, it's instantly likeable. Unfortunately the song hasn't been released yet so i can't post it.
There were a lot of familiar faces popping in throughout the day and all in all it was a successful shoot as we managed to finish on time! Working for Dan is great, he's a visionary and i can really learn a lot from the way he speaks to his talent, explains his ideas and makes them feel comfortable. He really knows how to get the best out of everyone!
I'll post the video once it's up online.
