Dela – Ulivyo

11th February 2010, in Video Projects (4 Comments)

I shot Dela’s first single promo for the song, “Ulivyo” from her debut album “Paukwa” last year – just before the Christmas break – and I was worried about how tired everyone was, but I guess it turned out OK. Black and white is fun, and the cast were very helpful (Kule would tell us things like, “It would be better if I was standing here”).

As always, I’m happy to hear what you lot think. I’ll upload the HD version at some point.

My thanks to the Penya team, the cast and to Lucille Kahara for allowing us to mess about in her house, and for getting props and catering (she’s awesome!). Thanks to Mbithi Masya, the problem-solver and man who keeps everyone sane on the set – indispensable. The people from the Kenya Grip Company remain the best light and grip people I’ve ever worked with (do I sound like I’m plugging them?).

Dude, it rocks! Your photographic eye is clearly visible in this video. I particularly liked the B/W bits.
