Bobby V - Words directed by G.Visuals



Director G.Visuals brings to life what is arguably Bobby Valentino's best song to date. The treatment, an updated take on the classic "Hello" by Lionel Richie, takes Bobby V out of his normal zone of bump and grind and presents him with the task of flexing his acting chops to show more heartfelt emotions. Bobby V's love interest is a ballerina who by the way, possesses an organic beauty not normally found in mainstream music videos, but was perfect for the message Bobby V and Visuals where looking to give.  She catches his eye during an audition and it is not until later he realizes that she is actually blind. It's clear after watching this video that G.Visuals strength as a director is using the camera to tell a story. He succeeds in this with great casting, stunning shots, subtle cut aways and  great art direction. In the chorus Valentino sings, "Words don't mean that much to me" so Visuals took note and let the lens speak....

  1. Everything about this has made this director and the artist come out of there natural surroundings, and experience a whole different side of the two. They have had excellent work in their past mini films. This one here takes it to a whole different level.
