Video Shooting

It was a fun day of shooting video for my song “Wakantanka”. It was also an early day getting ready. I was at my make-up artist’s place at 8am, got my wardrobe together after that and then went to the studio for the session. I brought a bunch of clothing, jewelry, scarves and shoes and didn’t use very much of it.

I’m always happy to bring a lot of wardrobe for a video shoot, even if I only use a few things. It’s best to give the director different choices. I’m not the best one to decide what looks right or what pieces should go where when it comes to art direction. I’m a songwriter and a performer. A director knows what looks best on camera and on me.

One of the nicest things about the shoot was that I was wearing a shawl that my parents bought for me when they were in Barcelona and some jewelry that a friend gave me for performing. It wrapped me in love and it was great to have that energy with me. My new hair-do was perfect and the director told me it makes me look younger. I like that.

Blessings!Laura
