During the summer of 2018 I created my very first music video for the song 'Plage Isolée' by Polo & Pan. I was in charge of writing, directing, editing and animating it. I collaborated with my friends to help me shoot it and Luisa for the acting.
The videoclip takes place in my hometown Seville (Spain). Let me tell you, learning how to get dozens of pigeons to fly on command was definitely one of the main challenges from the shoot... It's an art on itself.
After many attempts, I got the artists to notice my video and give me feedback! It wasn't easy and took some dedication. But there's definitely a great story behind it.

PROCESS: STORYBOARD
For the storyboarding I began by listening to the song back to back to back to back over and over again. I broke it down into the different parts (chorus, bridge...) to understand where the pace changes, the melody, and to map out the song in my head.
I continued to carry out location scouting while biking around Seville and taking pictures for future reference in the storyboard. I proceeded to sketch down all the shot ideas that came to mind and assigned them a time. It was a very exciting and fun process.
