We finally have professional photos from the set of the Never Knight Series Music Video!
Me as EP (Executive Producer) sitting next to music star AJ Raphael, who belts out the main song in this video with an incredible voice that belies his youthful looks! AJ is not only a very talented performer, but he has a big heart, establishing a non-profit bringing awareness to music therapy for autism called Music Speaks.
I’ve had the fortune to be working with a fun, but highly professional cast and crew, which made this production go very smoothly.
Me and Producer Don Le, who produced Kina Grannis’ video.
I worked with the team who produced Kina Grannis’ music video and had a wealth of experience producing popular music videos for some of the internet’s biggest personalities. If you don’t know who Kina Grannis is, you will. Her music is everywhere, and she is an indie sensation like Justin Bieber, from being indie to signing with a major record label.
The Epic Red Camera – any filmmaker would salivate over having one of these to film with – it is what its name says – Epic!
I’m not going to give away the music video’s story before it comes out, but here are a few stills from the set. To give you an idea of the extent of this music video and the amount of work put into it, we had an entire staff including choreographer, make-up, art department, gaffer, A.D., and more. I’m speaking from a producer’s view at the moment, setting aside my author’s hat.
The shirtless muscular guys rehearsing their moves with our choreographer.
To say this video is the most fun production project I’ve had (or at I’ve never laughed so much and so hard), is an understatement.
It was the kind of project where everyone had to laugh. A feel good project. And in the end, there’s a powerful message about men and women that is the theme of the Never Knights Series.
So cool! Congrats Kailin, can’t wait to see the video. My friend is a big fan of AJ Raphael so I’m sure she’d be excited too
The music video is out! It’s a gender bender twist on a classic because Never Knights and I am all about instilling a new take on empowering women through the media, books, films, and television. AJ and the guys are very cool guys who had a healthy sense of security and self to dress up as they did for the video to show what would be different if a strong female like Never Knight took over the making of a music video displaying women as objects.
