If we live videos

"If we live" videos

I made these videos, with love for the “If we live” project. the following songs are “Jenny make ’em clap”, sang by Jenny Möller, and “Free we is”, sang by Nichelle Monroe, both songs as well as the rest of the album were produced by Kevin T. Williams. I produced the videos, directed, shot, edited, and had a blast.

“If we live” is a community effort led by Kevin T. Williams, to raise awareness and help support the “Stand up to cancer” organization.

It was a joy working with everyone to make these happen, Special thanks to Jenny Moller, Nichelle Monroe and of course Kevin T. Williams, you’re awesome!

So make some fresh popcorn, it’s showtime ;)

A wonderful lecture about creativity by John Cleese

Creativity and creative thinking is a subject I’ve explored for many years.

I was happy to hear Cleese mentioning Edward de Bono (in one of his creative thinking videos that were published and removed from youtube many times), I started finding interest in De Bono’s ideas about creative thinking when I was still a photographer assistant in training.

Since the owner of the video disabled video embeds, Please click the image below to watch it on YouTube.

The “If we live” project

If-we-live project image

The “If we live” project was conceived by a dear friend,   Los-Angeles musician/Producer Kevin T. Williams. It started for me when Kevin called me one day telling me about a great new project he’s working on, and asked me to lend my voice to the choir of more than 60 accomplished singers, singing the theme song.  I humbly accepted as this was the first real recording. In this video,  you can get a glimpse of yours truly,  but I doubt you’ll be able to recognize my voice ;)

Later on, when all was ready, I worked with Kevin on the cover design, using my cloud photograph for the CD’s cover design. The ‘If we live’ project CD is now available from CD Baby, Go there and get your copy. All proceeds go to ‘Stand Up To Cancer’ “if we live has a Facebook page, where you can read more about the project https://www.facebook.com/pages/If-we-Live/538059362931621

If we live

Kevin used the “globe” I made, to make some buttons that we gave away in the CD release party. I was thinking about what image to use for this post while clearing my desk. I picked up that button that was on the desk to put it away and while turning around (The sky image is hanging right behind me) this idea came to mind, too simple, the biggest challenge was operating a right-hand camera with my left hand.

All “If we live” songs are available at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/kevintwilliamstheifwelov
