Apparently I'm not the only one who considers the Take-Away Show style, defined by La Blogotheque, to be the most effective video for capturing the energy and discovery and beauty of a live performance. Justin Timberlake joins with alt-country savior Chris Stapleton in this elaborate, yet raw and communal and organic one-take stunner directed by La Blogotheque's own Arturo Perez Jr.
I decided early on that I would not rely on a multi angle setup, instead staying true to our Blogotheque tradition - with only one camera and a close lens, in long takes. With an artist of her stature it was a gamble - no safety net, but it paid off. It's like Alicia is singing in your living room, which most of us don’t get to experience so often.
Quote from Alicia Keys:
“This was undeniably one of the coolest, most magical and intimate moments I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been dying to share this video.”
