This week we have the new music video for Tasleem"Jamila" Firdausee called "Chi Town City Life." The song is a biographical look at Tasleem’s life growing up in Chicago and how it shaped her past and present.
Pre Production, production and post production was done in a week. After getting a list of the locations that were mentioned in the song and had a significant meaning to Tasleem, it was my job to make sure that the shots flowed with the pace of the song. If I had to give it a name it was more of a narrative montage, meaning there was combination of shots from various locations but they were still in a order that followed the lyrics of the song.
On a side note, This was shot on the COLDEST day of the year. The maximum takes per shot was two. LOL Chicago weather is a great motivator. Check out the video.
