If I Could

Here’s the video I was talking about earlier – finally up on YouTube. First time working with a prime lens and available light only (who needs lights? Ha!).

Based in Nairobi, Jim Chuchu began taking photographs by accident in 2007. He has since had the opportunity to create stylized advertising photography, portraiture and experimental video for clients such as Virgin Atlantic, Zain, and Coca-Cola and for artists like Just A Band and Sauti Sol.
Camcorders: I use mostly the D90, the 7D and the 5D.

Brilliant work once again. I like that its authentically Kenyan (incl. bata slippers). Just a band rock!

Can’t believe this video doesn’t have more comments. To be honest, this is my favourite JAB video.

I agree, there should be way more comments about this video, but now that it’s on you-tube, that’s probably where most of the feedback will be. Hopefully it will spark an interest in the making of the video (which is stunning), and you, Jim Chuchu, for directing it.
So many reasons why this video is so cool… From the opening shot when both characters wake up, we start to care about them, just by watching them get ready for the day. They are different, and also they are alike. The ending is so different from what one is hoping for. Yet, it makes total sense…. it’s a slice out of life, and part of life (probably the most trajic part) is what we never get to learn about each other, or about ourselves.
Well (sigh) enough philosophizing. Jim, this video is awesome. So full of little details that keep the viewer’s mind “awake”. Congrats. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
