YOUR UNIVERSE

YUGTO (director's cut)

This version of the music video was directed by Quark Henares, but did not air in the music channels.

NOTE ON THE YOUTUBE POST OF THIS VIDEO: Video shot to script and proposed storyboard. After complete shoot and edit, Rico Blanco had asked Warner Music to commission a new director because he basically didn't like how he looked and performed and wasn't allowed to edit the video and take directorial credits.

Here's the video that did air:


I still liked Quark's version better. I liked the freaky, little aswang factoids that he slipped in, as well as the strange ghost-like figures (inspired by THE SHINING?) that were seen singing in the house.

"Atat" The Unreleased Rivermaya Music Video

One of my favorite music videos! :)

Simple. Honest. Heartfelt.

Too bad writing a story doesn't look as interesting or as dramatic.

The video was conceptualized and directed by Avid Liongoren.

I recently got Rico Blanco's first solo album and liked it a lot. (Well, there were one or two songs that didn't sit with me so well, but the rest of the songs were great.) Hoping the songs end up with some nice looking videos. I think Avid would do a great job in making a video for the song "Ayuz". One of the lines in the song talks about Hell finally getting air-conditioning and they've even started serving ice cream. I'd want to see him render that in his art style.

NOTES FROM AVID'S POST:
Real time-ish jeuvenile notebook doodles! Thats the first thing I thought about when I heard this song...

One of my more "brilliant" ideas... I think I'll use this concept when I get to work with Radio Head, or Coldplay... ehe....
