[MATURE CONTENT - IMPLIED VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL THEMES]
This song really got under my skin, particularly the line, "the life I have isn't what I'd seen". It brought back thoughts of a film I was developing last year that dealt with human trafficking. I felt unable to finish the script because I struggled to find original ways to deal with some well played out themes. And yet it was a story I sorely wanted to tell. In a way, embarking on this music video project is a second chance.
I've assembled a small but very gifted team and we've been planning and shooting since the start of Mar 2010. This is the first in a series of works I plan to submit. The base story is of a woman whose "days are gray and the nights are black", she's ventured overseas to support her child and ailing mother. She's making progress finding her way back but needs them to avert their eyes for awhile, "I'm gonna ask you to look away" but appeals for them to "wait for me".
This version tries to mimic the stealthiness of Moby's creation by marrying his pleasant melodies with some picturesque cityscapes but takes up the challenge when his lyrics turn a darker shade. There is some mature content and is labeled as such. A version I'm looking forward to completing involves a montage of some thousands of still photographs we're taking. And I'd like to make a softer desaturated colors version because we've shot some footage that would look so beautiful like that. And perhaps some others too, we'll see where inspiration taks us :-)
Please follow us as we continue our journey on this remarkable project. And I secretly hope this series moves some of you out there to act.
