Filming the Music Video

This round, I incorporated the scenes around my hometown Penang as imagery for the MV. My initial idea was having a static subject with background that changes with the music. The subject is none other than GF's toy sheep/lamb :)

I used my trusty 3y/o Canon Ixus camera to record Full HD (1980x1080p) the scenes where the subject was filmed. Occasionally the scenes had little movement, so I had to swap it out for others which are more dynamic. It took my and my unknowing girlfriend a whole day driving around the island to get the shot. We covered from Balik Pulau, San Nen Goat farm, Teluk Bahang dam, Armenian Street and many others (try guessing them from the MV!)

To process it, this time I went back to Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2016 for the editing and arrangement of the videos.I added a little title screen with a TV blur from Jarle's Presets 2.0 and some manual jiggling for the harmonica part. I used a stock picture of two men playing the harmonica which was really funny, because the other guy in the rear was looking at the harmonica dude so intently - like 'WTF are you doing' kind of stare.

The stock picture


The jiggling

Also, Handbrake was used to compress the final video for upload. I made a mistake with the conversion and ended up with a 300Mb 3minute MV to upload in Full HD (FYI it took a whole night of uploading on my broadband speed :( )

Final Product

With that said, here's the MV in full glory for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!


PS. Well well, my gf loved it again! Score 2 for song #2!!😄
