Colombian pop-rock bombshell Fatiniza, with whom I recently shot in Oman for her Debut Album, has just filmed her first music video for the single release "Out of Control" ... and I have been fortunate enough to have been her makeup artist.
Not only is Fati an amazing vocalist whose self composed lyrics touch your body, mind and soul, but moreover is she a true artist in everything she does from the moment she wakes up until she finally falls to bed late at night. As is typical for overwhelmingly creative persona with a mind that never sleeps, people surrounding them must be flexible and able to improvise. Hence, I pretty much packed everything I own as a Makeup & Hair Stylist to head for the filming.
Being that Fati has this incredibly creative mind, she challenges me as a makeup artist to come up with innovative concepts and accepts nothing but perfection (sometimes she seems only little Colombian and very German - no offense, I am German - I can say that).
Fatiniza has incredible attention to detail and working with her it can happen ... it regularly happens ;) ... that 3 pairs of exactly the same fake eyelashes are rejected because they are clearly unworthy of identical twin status ... "Sey are not se same, see se hair here" she mimics my German pronunciation ... and right she is, they are unworthy of going on stage.
So, last Friday after much anticipation and carefully selected sets of eyelashes it was finally time to shoot Fatiniza's music video for her debut single "Out of Control" at Dubai's creative hub "The Fridge". Her album including the single will go on sale at Virgin Megastores at the end of May 2010.
It was a looooong but amazingly memorable day in my life. I will post the video shortly ... here are some teaser images from the day.
