Behind the Scenes “No te necesito” Video Shoot Part 1

Music_Video_2_zania

Hope you had a lovely long Labor day weekend! I know I did!

So, I recorded a music video! Woo hoo! This music video is for “No te necesito” an existing song in my “Dulce” EP on iTunes. (Yes! I do have an EP out it’s only $4.99 and you can find it HERE!) I released this album back in 2010. Since then, I haven’t done another EP or written a full song so I thought it was time to get back at it. This time it was all about having fun and not about what others thought was best for me. That said, I set out to get some “help me help you” favors and with a very limited budget got a music video. Anything is possible if you just ask for it. Here are some pictures to get you excited about the release!

Here’s how I did it:

  • A friend from my previous job had been wanting to get back into his Mr. Director role and said he would record and edit the music video for free. He would then promote me on his site and vice versa. Sounded good to me!
  • A friend of Mr. Director offered a location for free with a bar and an area to set up a mini stage. Perfect! No permits, no fees. We were even able to set up days before!
  • Since I love decoration and DIY, guess who became the set designer? Moi! I looked for an inexpensive way to make a big impact since I knew that the set needed A LOT of love. I will show you what I did and how I did it on the B&A series soon.
  • I got some friends to be actors and audience members, paid them with refreshments, Cuban and Puerto Rican “pastelitos”, beer, some stand-up comedy with friends and a free download of my album. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
  • The 50% OFF clearance rack at Forever 21 provided my dress & belt. My super fashionable friend, Gaby, let me borrow a very cool necklace from her online store Alma Mei . The exact necklace is HERE. (Check them out! They have some beautiful items on their online store and the prices are super reasonable. As a plus, they also share their proceeds with different charities. So cool!) The shoes are Cole Haan.
  • Hair and makeup was done by the same talented gal, Eli, who does my makeup for Yahoo’s Miss Ideas episodes. You can follow her YouTube channel HERE. If you live in the Miami area you can hire her to do your makeup for any special event! She’s great!

Miss Ideas #13 – Arregla tu maquillaje roto | How To Fix Broken Makeup

Miss_Ideas_arregla_tu_maquillaje_roto_title_cardHi everyone! We’re back with Miss Ideas season #2 on Yahoo!! I’m so so so happy to share more tips with you! To start off this season we want to show you how to fix your broken lipstick and compact with some very simple steps. Did you know you could do this? I didn’t. I don’t even own a compact powder (well, now I do because I got to keep the one I fixed on this shoot). Score! Anyhow, just watch and learn! Oh and as a Bonus, I added a little blooper video at the bottom of the page. This is how I would have probably reacted if my makeup broke and I didn’t know how to fix it! So mad! (We have so much fun on set). Hope you enjoy this video made with love for all of you!

Hola a todos!! Empezamos con la segunda temporada de Miss Ideas en Yahoo! Me alegra muchísimo poder compartir mas ideas con ustedes. Para comenzar, te enseñamos como puedes arreglar tu lápiz labial y polvo compacto si se han roto. ¿Saben que se pueden arreglar? Yo no lo sabía. Ni siquiera tengo un polvo compacto en mi cartera (bueno, hasta que me regalaron el que arreglé en este video jaja!). Vean el video y verán el truquito. Como un bono, estoy incluyendo un videito de un “blooper” de este episodio. Creo que asi es como normalmente reaccionaría si se me rompe el maquillaje y no se como arreglarlo. ¡Jaja! A la verdad que gozamos muchísimo en estas grabaciones. ¡Espero que lo disfruten!
