James Bond Themed Music Video: Musical Theatre Meets James Bond

The original message for this was a James bond style song, delivery powerful vocals to portray the message of the song. The client had used singers in the past but wasn't getting the desired results and the spending was starting to mount up.

They approached me after taking a look at some of my previous works and wanted to know what my approach would be.

To create this project for my client my process was:

STEP 1: I went back and did my research with watching and listening to all the previous James Bond songs and really paying attention to how the performance was and the way the message was delivered

STEP 2: I then listened to there song whilst following with the music sheet to get an understanding of what they were after. I then had a sit down with the client (zoom) to go through exactly what they were after and how much wiggle room there was for my own creativity. they wanted to create a style of music video where I would do a self tape of me singing in my studio and they would do a picture in picture to create that effect.

Step 3: I sat down with the lyrics and made some markings where I felt the words and sections were to be highlighted to really bring that messaging out and where the emotions should really come through.

Step 4: When I begin recording I do like to bounce some idea's of the client to make sure they are happy with the direction and it is how they imagined it to be, and allow us to develop any area's that I may have needed more clarification on, and that way they are always involved. Depending how much creativity I have been given I do like to experiment on a few idea's and see how they are received.

Step 5: I like to provid a few different versions to allow the client to decide if they liked any of my creative input as I find that I can get carried away with a song and allow my voice to roam freely as it were, which can provide different and sometimes more intriguing results. I always provide the version that they had written and then if I feel a few different versions are there, then I include them in my delivery too.

Note: I allow for any revisions that may be required and always allow for as many as is required to bring this song to a great finished product.

A very happy client with a project they were extremely happy with and I have enjoyed more collaborations with this client on some truly great songs.
