Joy Ike - "City Lights" Music Video

I met Ms. Joy Ike a few years ago when she was performing at a local store (Abyssinia) promoting her first CD. The store has since closed but Joy is still going strong. I was really impressed not only by her talent but also by her drive, so it was a pleasure to finally get to work with her. The song is from her most recent CD, the sophomore release "Good Morning." There were several songs that I really liked but this is definitely my favorite for a number of reasons. The song is kind of a melancholy song and the concept was to carry that feeling over visually. We opted not to have a person "play" the love interest but rather just focus on Joy and her emotions/thoughts/feelings. We met a couple times before we started on the video, just to share ideas and make sure we were on the same page. The video was recorded on two separate days. The scenes in the church where she was playing the piano were filmed first. Later I filmed her in her apartment and walking through the streets of Squirrel Hill (in Pittsburgh, PA, my hometown). Unfortunately I didn't have lights at the church so the footage is darker than I would have liked. Maybe one day we can do a reshoot. This was the last video I filmed before I relocated. Everything was edited in Final Cut Pro 5.x, sound effects/foley at the end was created using Soundtrack Pro and finishing touches in After Effects CS3. You can find out more about Joy and purchase her music (I purchased several copies as gifts for my family last holiday) by visiting joyike.com. There you will also find links to her myspace, facebook and twitter accounts.
