Cheek feat. Illi, The videoshoot summer 2008

I have been working as a second director, and as a stylist/scenographer for Cheek this summer. The video "Kanssa tai ilman" is now finally finished and will be published next week at http://www.cheekki.com/

It is directed by Daniel Art and will be shown at least on The Voice tv and Music Television.



The videoshoot was absolutely lovely. I so adored the two boys, and our whole crew. Everyone got along extremely well, and our long hours of work was resulted into many strange things. Few of the most memorable moments were the on-set battle between Illi and our dancer Maria Serena Järvinen about gum, and another on-set fight between our dancers with pillows (both fights were made for the silhuette shots of Illi). Not all was easy through these months, but I nevertheless enjoyed every moment of it. This was a good sequal to my work for Apollo on the side of rap-entertainment.



All I kept thinking for months and months, was violet, white, yellow, fashion, violet, fashion, rap, violet...and wooden dolls. The wooden dolls we decided to have as the main idea of the video, was working quite well. I think they represent the lyrics very well, and so far it has turned out to be the right choise to go on with that idea. We'll see what the public thinks of it!

Many paper coffee-cups were destroyed, tons of tortillas eaten, one little dog being traumatized for life, hours of films rolled, and the results will speak for themselves. I hope. At least we had amazing time those months and days, and I thank everyone for their strength, patience and contributions to make this video live!
