Fejká Shades of You feat. Henry Green

(Tor Remix)

Directed By Gio Puentes

SYNOPSIS

A Visual Journey between Reality and Dreams

"Shades of You"

“Shadows of You” is a project that, through AI technology, aims to convey a story through a visually stunning music video. Using AI software, similar to bands such as Linkin Park, Die Antwoord, Kid Cudi, and many other pioneers in integrating AI into music videos.

“Shades of You” is emotional, so we aimed to capture these emotions, woven into the song and its lyrics, and have them be represented visually, merging the elegance of a story with the depth and feeling present in this song.

Story


It is set in the heart of a subway station where two souls dance between reality and dreams. The station becomes a symbolic stage, where the constantly moving trains reflect the cadence of heartbeats and the intertwined destinies of the protagonists.

Key Elements

We used film techniques to craft a storyline, exploring the new possibilities in AI-generated images and videos. These methods helped us capture the nuanced emotions present in light and shadow. We wanted to draw in the viewer by evoking emotions and surrounding them with engaging visuals and music. Ultimately, our goal was to connect with the audience and transport them using the magic of music.

Storytelling and Visuals

Railway Symbolism

Trains and railway tracks will be crucial visual elements, representing the connection and disconnection between characters as they intertwine on their emotional journey.

Dreamlike Atmosphere

We played with the blurred line between the real and the imaginary, creating dream sequences that mirror the characters' perpetual quest.

Art and Music Fusion

The great beat, rich narrative, and emotive lyrics create a perfect harmony of music and visuals, providing a complete experience.

Universal Relevance

The theme of searching for love, attempting to find the person we yearn for, waiting for love that never arrives, or reminiscing about the person we encountered briefly on a train and wish to meet again - all of these elements are used to help the audience feel engaged and allow them to interpret the story in their own way.

Conclusions

Shadows of You" is more than a music video—it's a humble invitation to share a world of emotions and reflections with you. We've blended poetry, music, and cinematography to create an experience that, we hope, goes beyond the ordinary. It's not just a video; it's a modest attempt at crafting something emotionally resonant that we sincerely hope will leave a lasting impression on those who take a moment to explore it.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE

When my father left to emigrate to the United States, I was still very young, and his departure left a huge void in my life. It was during this time that I was introduced to music through a small Crown radio.


This not only sparked my interest in music, but also in radio and the arts in general. As the years went by, I continued to explore different musical genres and devices, such as a tape recorder and the old sound system in my house that I repaired and used as an amplifier for my cassette recorder.


Over time, I discovered various bands such as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, and delved into rock music from the 60s and 70s, and onwards to the 80s. However, it was my introduction to electronic music, house, and techno that marked a turning point in my life.

I discovered Massive Attack, Morcheeba, and eventually, Portishead, which had a profound impact on me. Many bands have come and gone in my life since then, but Portishead remains a personal favorite.


My wife and I stumbled upon the unique music of TOR, which helps me to pause and be present. Sometimes, there is so much noise in my mind that songs like this help me to stop and listen, becoming one with the moment where the external and internal worlds converge.


This is why TOR’S remix Fejká's music resonated with me so deeply and inspired me to share this story with you today.
