Birthday - Katy Perry (EMANON Project Cover)

First of all, Thank God, without His Grace, this music video would have never been possible.

It's an honor to direct, shoot and edit this beautiful piece of art.

This is a one-shot music video, which involves everyone to take part and not to make any mistake. The hardest part of all goes to the drummer as he had to remember all his fills and chops.

We spent 6 hours building the set and it was worth it. Shooting the actual video went on for about an hour.

As for the choreography, I had to figure out the best way to maximize the space available on set. In order to do that, I took measurements of every corner in the room. Then, I took that measurements to Photoshop and After Effects to create the best choreography presentation.

What's the best way of doing a presentation? A video!

I used 16 pieces of 40watt bulbs and a 100watt bulb to light up the set. Thanks to all people on set, we managed to beautifully light up and decorate the set.

Again, thank you to all my friends on set (they are the ones you see in the video), you guys did a great job!

Make it like your birthday everyday!
