BILA AKU SUDAH TIADA SIMPAN SEMUA VIDEOKU

aku tinggal kan kau dengan sepucuk surat

I just finished directing and editing 2 music videos for Hujan, “Jiwa Kelajuan & Bila Aku Sudah Tiada”. We shot these 2 videos before puasa but due to Hujan’s busy schedule, it couldn’t be done during raya. The videos were shot back to back due to tight budget. But i had a great time with my team mates. Without them i don’t think i could make it happen. We chose Flat Pekeliling as the main location for both videos (again due to tight budget) but with 2 different directions and points of view.

BILA AKU SUDAH TIADA
Bila aku sudah tiada
Simpan semua laguku jangan ditangis selalu
Mungkin ini sementara
Bila jumpa penggantiku jangan dilupakan aku

For Bila Aku Sudah Tiada, i wanted to focus more on emotion. What do you feel when you return back to your old place to revisit & recolect your old memory. A story about reversed memory of this guy (Noh), who revisits his old place and also about the Flat Pekeliling itself.

For your information Flat Pekeliling will be demolished to give way to the new commercial project. Yang tinggal nanti hanya memori penghuni Flat pekeliling dan mungkin kita yang pernah melalui kawasan perumahan tersebut. A homage to Flat pekeliling community. Sedih jugak aku tengok. Dah jadi sarang penagih dadah.

Every old building is unique with its own identity and character. Ntah susah aku nak describe. Very old skool feeling lah. So bila Flat Pekeling nanti dah tak ada dan sudah diganti dengan bangunan yang ultra moden & sophisticated jangan lah dilupakan memori kat Flat tu. Walaupun aku tak pernah pergi menjejakkan kaki sebelum shooting video ni tapi aku rasa semua orang pernah ternampak, terlintas, terperasan flat lama di Jalan Tun Razak yang menjadi mercu tanda di ibu kota sejak 36 tahun lalu. Kalau tak tau kat mana Flat pekeliling nampak sangat korang belum jadi warga KL yang prihatin.



Pasal Hujan pulak aku tak ada masalah dengan diorang. Ya aku bikin video ni pun atas dasar kawan-kawan & juga portfolio for redeoscape. A very good exercise lah. And this video is in black and white. Very nostalgic. Bila aku sudah tiada, simpan semua videoku jangan dilupakan aku.

JIWA KELAJUAN

Video ni satu bonus untuk Hujan. Bila aku sudah tiada is very emotional but Jiwa Kelajuan is simple, raw & energetic. This video truly reflects this band’s attitude. Thanks to Adidas for wardrobe sponsor. To my friends, thanks for supporting and helping me. Anda semua memang heroes.
