Al is like the boogeyman アルバートは夜が好き

This is my new video project with the Visual Artist and grammy nominee (for best music video 2013)  Javier Ventura 

I will tell about this great project...

Last year Javier met Arai Tasuku by twitter, a musician and composer from Japan, Javier do not speak japanese and Arai don´t speak english, so all the communication was by google translate, kind of funny (yes, that is music, another language that we can understand without words) . Javier loved Arai´s music, so Javier decided to create a music video for him.

Javier invited me to make with him this video, so we planned all the story, graphics and all the magic.

Here some images from the shooting at Studio C3 who was the producer company based on Colorado, the video was made in slow motion, so we were shooting frame by frame. (our baby was looking all the process too, she is on the photo haha)

This was the fist sketches for the story...

Here is the final video, I hope you enjoy our work, the visuals and of course the great music by Arai Tasuku.
