Another fan!

While surfing the web I stumbled upon another atricle that was about Colin Tillley. The article was published just yesterday.

The article depicts one of his works with a famous artist. The artcle talks about his background and his upbringing. Like my english teacher Mrs. Stoklosa always says, "We are a product of our environment." So this background info is giving us a description of the type of person he might be and where his styles originated from. The author refered to Colin as being "one of the dopest" and "The creativity and emotion that Colin puts in his videos is unprecedented..."

The effort and creativity he puts into his work surely will be remembered and comended hroughout history. The way that he is attacking the business now he is setting a path for future directors and the future certainly looks bright.

An Interiew with the man...

I find it sometimes fastidious to look up information on this topic because in being so young there is a limited amount of research on this man. But, I am determined to endow you with as much information as I can. To my luck, a new source of information came about a few days back.

For this post I am going to focus less on the impact Colin has on the music industry and focus on one piece of work he has created just recently and has also talked about in a recent interview with MTV.

In this interview with MTV Colin Tilley talks about the new hit single of Lil Wayne called "John." The song is featuring the Tefon Don a.k.a Rick Ross. The song has gone viral just a few days ago and Colin has already been getting amazing feedback. I don't want to skew off topic so I'll let you guys look it up. As for the interview on May, 13 2011, Colin talks about how The video was released on the 12th but Wayne and Tilley met up earlier to talk about how to approach this video.

"When I first talked to Wayne about the video, we had just done the 'Look at Me Now' video, and he really liked the whole feel of that video, how there was just so much goin' on and just the whole energy and colors and all that," Tilley said. It is true that Colins taste in film i likable by many artist including veterans such as Wayne himself. "The video was in its entirety in Miami. Wayne and Ross performed inside an abandoned warehouse and outside on a dock." The video was shot in a location so familiar to us yet when we look into his videos we are transported into another venue. The setup of the video is just beatuiful and if you want to watch click here.
