Hello Future Moby Music Video

It's so wonderful to have an opportunity to work with world renown talent, and have creative control on the final outcome.  Chances like this don't come by everyday.  So we conceived a story to compliment Moby's lyrics and music.  After much thought and many different ideas here's what we decided.



Be the One by Moby, Hello Future from Nadine Davidson-Wall on Vimeo.



As we worked through the scenes we realised it was a valuable lesson for Zoe.  The way she cuddles the toy reflects the conversation we had about being homeless, and having no possessions.  It's a hard concept for most people to accept, but I think Zoe shows the emotion beautifully. 

As we worked on I really thought about the effect we have as parents on future society, and how if you don't have good role models in your life how can you develop into a productive member of soiety.  The other terrifying thought is how often those who shout loudest get the most, while the silent ones slip throught the cracks. 

We love working in the wedding industry, and we are so lucky to see magical, loving moments in people's lives. It's very easy to forget the silent ones. So even if just for a moment we think how fortunate we are, or have compassion for just a fleeting moment, maybe the next time we see someone a little less blessed we can give them a smile, a dollar, or some acknowledgement that they are not invisible.



It's been a wonderful thought provoking process, and I'm looking forward to seeing the finalists and then the winning music video.
