Anyone Got an Idea for a Music Video?
A joke at band rehearsal became a music video taking shape on my phone while we played.
"Two armies line up for battle, and Yuval moves between them, sharpening knives for both sides."
We fell about laughing.
Hang on, let me explain. I play in a rock band led by singer-songwriter Yuval Gurevich. When he isn't making music, Yuval sharpens knives for a living. Really.
We're about to release a new single to radio. Last night, in the middle of rehearsals, it suddenly struck me: why don't we make a video for the song?
Anyone got an idea?
Our bassist, Tal Markus, came up with a stroke of genius: "Armies lining up for battle, and Yuval moving between them, sharpening knives for both sides."
I described it to ChatGPT, asked it to write a script, and gave it a photo and a video of Yuval. Off it went. I was playing keyboards, with my phone propped on top of them making the video at the same time. A few more tweaks, and that was that. Perfect? No. But a moment ago it wasn't even an option. For the first time, I can actually ask the band: anyone got an idea for a video?
