So I looked around for a videographer that could film a 3-4 minute dance video. This being my first time, I was a little nervous, however I highly enjoyed the experience of working with the talented videographer, Alex Mortensen.
Alex was very polite. We kept going back and forth with our ideas. We ended up filming in Coronado & Silver Strand because that is where I live.
We were set to film in late February but it kept getting cloudy or rainy outside during that time, and they were kind enough to reschedule, without charge I might add!
Despite it being a little gloomy towards the end and us not getting the sunset view as we desired, it still turned out great. Alex took about a week to edit the video after shooting, and was very good at editting the final video as I wanted it to be.
I, myself sent into a lot of details with breaking down the video into segments, since the song was in Hindi, I filmed myself with a tripod and edited to breakdown the dance from segment 1 and onwards. Which made the filming process more smoother. The time it took to film I would say was about 5 hours (it was very windy during the day of shooting, so we had to try different from different angles & different sites).
Overall the video turned out great and if you ever get the chance to work with Alex Mortensen, you won't be disappointed. And I also want to thank the producer, Dave, for getting an understanding of my vision before pairing me with Alex after showing me samples of his work.
