Gus Lozada Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Hello there! My band's debut CD (WoM - Vida Fraktal / Fraktal Life) will be launched into the american market in the first week of June 2005 by Universal Latino, and we're just finishing the video clip of the first single to be released, "let me love you" (déjate amar). It is Low-Res, still missing contrast / HUE adjustments and some other video artifacts which will be covered in the final version, but I wanted to share it with you as it is right now. WoM - Dejate Amar (Let Me Love You) It's in QuickTime Video format (16 MB) All comments will be welcome!

Phait Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Video was rather pretentious and the girl was wearing a schoolgirl outfit... which could add some controversy and speculation as to what the song is about, but I don't understand a word of Spanish. In advance, these are just the vibes I got from the video, don't take offense. Everything I do is pretentious anyway, and I seem to get away with it.

Gus Lozada Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 Well.. thanks. Pretentious might be a very good or a very bad definition for the video... could you ellaborate? Of course, having me acting like a dark raper and the model dressed like that has a well defined purpose: call for your attention.

Phait Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Well, I thought the way you presented yourself was overdone. There's "cool" and theres "trying to be cool". I really don't mean to be a prick, but I'm only sharing my honest opinion. That's what we all want, right? Aand now that you bring it to mind the video did have a dark connotation to it... dark isn't bad (well look who's talking), but I think others might misunderstand or obviously get the underlying message, if there is any.

miki Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I liked it, fwiw. Looking at the demographic, in general, I don't know that 'overdone' is such a problem. I mean, Mexican soap operas are *ultra* overdone on purpose for a reason! I didn't think the video was overdone though... and I like the bit at the end like you're crazy and it was all 'delusional'.

Dak Lander Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 ACK! Leave the shades on next time Gus. I thought you guys did a good job on the video, over all. Not my genre but still got me going. Good Luck. I hope it gets you going up here. Then you'll have more excuses to visit. Our Joint "When you come slam bang up against trouble, it never looks half as bad if you face up to it."

Dennyf Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Hey, I thought it was good! It looks like a music video! I'm monolingual, and obviously not in Spanish, but I still got what was goin' on. (Probably.) I especially liked the T-Zone/Hitchcock/O.

Gus Lozada Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 When people do not speak my language and still gets the main idea of the video, I can know I did transmit the message/idea I originally wanted in it. Thanks for your comments. Great you enjoyed the ending of the video. To make it even easier, here's a translation of the original lyrics: ** Let me Love You ** Everytime I see you I can see how sad you are I feel I always breathe in sync to the way you walk Everytime I see you I know you want me to go your way but anything happens I just keep watching you going away... Sometimes I feel a spin in my head I don't know how and don't know why you never leave your heart to open it's doors to me... (CHORUS) Let me love you, Let me be with you taking care of your breathing while you sleep let me touch, let me taste all of your sweetness, to make it real Let me love you, Let me be with you guiding you in a wild ride just to take you to the bottom of your dreams up to the edge of the universe... (BED WITH ROSES SCENE STARTS) I have prepared a very special place for us to be where you'll find everything you dreamed off with me I would like to know how to convince to those violently sad eyes and make you forget that everything will be gone with the wind... Let me love you, Let me be with you taking care of your breathing while you sleep let me touch, let me taste all of your sweetness, to make it real Let me love you, Let me be with you guiding you in a wild ride just to take you to the bottom of your dreams up to the edge of the universe... (SPEAKING) Let me be with you taking care of your breathing while you sleep let me touch, let me taste all of your sweetness, to make it real Let me love you...

Gus Lozada Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 BTW ALL comments are welcome. Maybe it's too pretentious for some people and I have to consider that for the second single, specially because the CD is going to be marketed first in the US. Maybe this is not a "video forum" but I trust in your perception of how good or bad a video can be, the message transmitted, etc. I sincerely appreciate the bandwidth and time you spend just to give me your comments.

Zweite Version Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Pretty cool! I like the ending a lot, but I would have made the ending sequence in the hospital a little longer, and maybe even with some dialog, kind of like a mini-movie, but that's just me. Pretentious? 99% of videos in the 'dance' genre are pretentious, it's part of it. Ever watch European dance music videos? How long did it take to shoot? Maybe you can also try to gather some interest of labels in Europe, Spain maybe?

We shoot all of it in 4 days, in Guatemala and Antigua Cities, Guatemala. Another 2 days for editing and 4 more days for FX and color corrections. It was all recorded in mini DV cameras, then dropped it all into VEGAS VIDEO 5.0. I'm going first after the hispanic market in the US, then the rest of latin america and then, Spain, that's the usual way it works for us. Thanks a lot for your comments.

Super 8 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 RRRRRRRRRRRRicco Suave! Gus, it wasn't pretentious. The ending kept it from being pretentious. I mean, if I'm understanding the vid, basically you're this nutcase with obsessive fantasies about a female Doctor or Nurse who works at the asylum you are residing in? What's so clever about it is that we don't discover this until the end of the video. We see the last few seconds and then we realize everything prior was going on in your mind. Very clever. I couldn't understand a word you were saying, but that's okay. In my opinion, the best videos don't have anything to do with the subject matter of the song. Examples include: Ashes to Ashes -David Bowie Anything by Art of Noise Human Behaviour -Bjork I liked your video. About your band; Are you a two piece? Do you guys have everything sequenced and then play along with it? Just curious. Super 8 Hear my stuff here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a hispanic girl named Pilar join my school late in the semester, back in 8th grade. My god she was gorgous. Her younger sister was too. Dark skin Long silky black hair Perfect breasts. The kind of girls you would never think about asking out, because you just know what the answer would be. Of course, that's probably why they never had any dates.

We don't deserve to be mentioned next to Bowie, Bjork or Art of Noise, but Hell, looks great. Thanks. We're a THREE piece band. We have all of our show sequenced in LIVE (running in a Mac) and have another two laptops running video for the show and soft synths, playing guitars, keys and singing on the top of the backing tracks.

Guitars were put at the front in the final Mix of the song; BTW that's a very shitty audio resolution in the video sample... but yes, there area lot of guitars in it. The budget for the video included bringing us three all from different cities in Mexico to Guatemala for one week and pay the guys shooting the video, hotels for locations, meals for everybody and final editing... but we wanted to have "the vibe" of making it out of Mexico.
