This short film was produced for a Motion Picture Production course that I attended in the fall of 2007, at the Valencia Community College in Orlando, FL. The objective for the assignment was to shoot a music video. We had roughly one month to put together a music video from scratch. This video is inspired by the song THE QUESTion, performed by S.K.I.P. of Nonsense. S.K.I.P. of Nonsense is a independent music artist in Orlando, FL. The song come from his newest album that he was looking to promote. We produced the video independent and didn't require a commission so long as S.K.I.P. of Nonsense allowed us to use the song.
The entire creation of the video came from the minds of Gina McDowell, Sam Muniz, Lawrence Odum, and myself. Each of us played various roles in the aspect of production, thus we share many of the credits, such as the directing credit.
This music video does not follow the conventional traditions of a music video. As many videos would cut away from a narrative, or simply show the artist performing a song in various locations and then edit them together in a quick montage style. Here the artist, S.K.I.P. of Nonsense is never seen performing the song. There is a clear narrative that is being told, and S.K.I.P. of Nonsense felt that we shouldn't break away from that story.
The main character is played by Wes Tsukazan. We first had seen Wes Tsukazan in another independent short that was selected for the Film Slam Festival held at the Enzian Theater in Orlando. We spoke of our ideas of the video and he performed in it as a favor to us without any commission. The entire video was filmed at Valencia Community College's east campus.
As an independent video it was extremely challenging, difficult, and certainly a lot of fun.
