Behind The Lens: LexC - This is the Part Where… Music Video
Introduction
A song that was birthed from heartbreak now becomes a call or reminder to women everywhere that trust is easily broken, but finding the right person is paramount. Collaborating with the talented artist LexC on her heartfelt song "This is the Part Where" was an amazing journey that will resonate deeply with audiences.
The Inspiration Behind the Collaboration
I was moved to collaborate with LexC not only because of her musical talent but because of the depth behind her work. Having both attended the same college, I watched her growth and was inspired by her creative evolution. When she wrote, produced, and engineered this emotionally charged song, I knew the visual storytelling needed to match that intensity and showcase the woman behind the mic.
Revealing the Artist Through Interview
To complement the music video, we filmed an intimate interview segment where LexC opened up about the inspirations behind her music, her thoughts on the film Sinners, and even her favorite anime. These unscripted moments helped reveal LexC's true self. Aldeith Cleary.
A Case for Versatility
On this shoot, I wore many hats—Director, Producer, Cinematographer, Editor, well, let’s say I did everything. The good-old one-man band. Man, that was exhausting, but nevertheless, we are extremely happy to bring you a music video that will speak volumes around the world.
A Cinematic Stamp in Time
I wanted to capture the music video in the 4:3 aspect ratio to mirror how music and experiences are timeless. It’s nostalgic, just like the older days when content was shot on film. This video was cut to the essence of the time when film first started. Post film textures of film grain, hailation, and film stock was chosen to make this music video a stamp in time to remember.
By the end of this production, we had more than a music video—we had a visual time capsule. Every frame was designed to serve the story and pay tribute to the emotional journey LexC captured in her lyrics.
Conclusion
Beleive in yourself, and beleive in your friends. If you have an idea, see it through. At least you can go to sleep happy knowing you did what you dreamed of. Peace!
