I’m an aspiring Hip-hop artist, and I plan on being a part of the music industry for the rest of my life.  Currently, I’m having trouble finding people to shoot and edit decent quality videos for my music, and I don’t plan to settle.

     As far as my vision for the videos I would like to make, I’m a big fan of contrast and clashing ideas. For example, I want to market myself as an intelligent but reckless kid from the hood, imagery to be dark, but also full of color due to the diverse clothing that will be worn, and include many tokens of my character clip by clip.

     Also, I’m from Bushwick, Brooklyn a neighborhood that’s transforming fast from one of the more crime struck neighborhoods in Brooklyn to a gentrified neighborhood full of hipsters and bars replacing bodegas, so visually telling that story and partnering that with music is something I plan on doing. I want to tell so many stories using visual diversity that it will blow viewers minds, and force them to view the video again because of how much depth it had.

      Music videos are usually between three and four minutes, and with that amount of time, I want to push many stories and representations of my character and where I’m from. I plan on doing that with quick shots of different tokens of cultural representations and, as stated earlier, clashes. For example, a close up of sleek, clean black leather shoes walking on litter covered sidewalks, or my shot of me scratching my dreads but on my wrist is a shiny watch. That is the visual direction I plan to go in.
