Houssein - Tokyo
“Beyond professional, start to finish, and a pleasure to work with. I would happily work again with Birdhouse.”
Over the years, we’ve spent a lot of time filming musicians writing and recording in the studio, so a music video based around the recording studio was a natural fit for us. Houssein wanted to throw in a few alternative ideas to the mix, by adding a chroma screen (green screen) element to the mix. As he performs at the piano, crew walk into the camera shot and imagery inspired by the lyrics fly around the screen.
Low budget, small crew, but highly creative. It was a pleasure to work on this and we’re really proud of the outcome.
“Tokyo is the single that I am most proud of, it is my favourite song both lyrically and sonically. The track isn’t really about the city of Tokyo, but instead the city’s name is being used as a synonym for euphoria. Tokyo can be anywhere or anything, it’s just meant to represent a wonderful and important memory.”
