We Are One
Added 2015-10-28 01:37:41 +0000 UTCHey everyone - you're getting this video a day early!
As it says in the video description, I wrote "We Are One" a few years ago, at a time when my news feed seemed filled with tragic stories of suicides, shootings, bullying, racism, sexual assault... I hoped that I could say something to encourage anyone who had been hurt by someone else, to let people know that it is GOOD to be themselves, and celebrate both the diversity and oneness of humankind at the same time.
This song was originally intended to be on my Winter album. I still think it could have fit but I decided I really wanted the message to stand up on its own rather than being sandwiched in between any other pieces.

2015-10-28 04:18:54 +0000 UTCThank you! Yeah it took a while doing it that way, but ultimately I think came out much better than just asking people to look sad and deep :)

2015-10-28 01:58:09 +0000 UTCGreat question... We shot with each person for on average 20 minutes, getting to know what they cared about and what was going on in their life, hoping for 5~ seconds of unguarded, genuine emotion.

2015-10-28 01:56:12 +0000 UTCI am very curious what prompts you gave the people in the video to elicit the varying emotions - were these reactions all borne of the same prompt or did you encourage some people to look happy and some to look sad?
