Shirel's video: Shirel - I Made Clip - English Version

These clips started with an idea, one night I was watching a movie called be kind rewind by Michel Gondry, it 's a great movie filled with original and fun ideas and I learned that you can do anything you want (even if you have no budget) but you need one ingredient and that's Creativity. The next day I was on the steps of the theatre in Paris, I had just finished my show Avenue Q and was talking to my sister Marianne about my new album. And then it hit me ( yes like a thunder in a cartoon) we were going to do the clips together with an I pad!!!!! She first looked at me like I was mad and reminded me we didn't have an I pad! And she had never filmed anything in her life.... and then I convinced her to try, what could we lose right?! Someone lent us an I pad and we chose one song to start with ,DARK SIDE and went home to write down all of our ideas . In a day we had a 100 ideas, we bought the props and got to work. We were not very sure of what we were doing, it was a first for both of us, but I felt so comfortable and natural under her eye , it was as if we were playing , like kids. We found a great editing guy named Nicholas Beguin and started finding a rythm to the images and an atmosphere to the clip. We were really a perfect trio, one perfectionist ( marianne), one who knows the job ( nicholas) and one who allways says it looks fine don t be so picky! ( that s me) I love imperfection, I like old cloths with holes in them 100 times more than a new designers dress, old furniture with cracks and people who are beautifull not because they have a magasine beauty but because they have beautiful imperfections. Since, we made 4 more clips and we constently call each other with new ideas to film. These clips are filled with imperfections, ideas that were inspired by our oldest memories and complicity between sisters. I hope you enjoy them becaus we sure had fun making them!......
