SHOUTS from Director Nelson "Frankie" Nunez
A direct thanks from Producer/Director Nelson Nunez:
Before I get into the details, I would just like to thank everybody for their
support and patience through the duration of this music video production. Some
of the video shoots were unexpectedly and even unbearably long, but I want you
to know that your endurance, patience, and matureness were key in making this
production shine.
To Legaci:
Thanks for coming to me to produce your first music video; i've felt truly blessed
and honored to have created it. That week of shooting was the most fun i've
EVER had... and i will always carry our new motto for the rest of my life, "When
push comes to strafe, FORCE IT!"
To Micah:
Man…. MAN!!! We've done it… how many people can actually say they
remember talking about a dream in high school and it coming true!? I'll always
remember the great times we've had at Hogan High (c/o '98 Baby!!!), especially
whenever we'd talk about our dreams in entertainment. I respect your drive,
admire your talent, and value your friendship. May the STRAFE forever be with
you!
To Peter De Leon of Immixture Records: Of course,
what is a music video without the music? It was your talents that created piece
of work that set the pace of editing for the entire video. Thanks man... it's
been an honor for me that you've been a part of this dream production. But
remember, this is ONLY THE BEGINNING...
To the three lovely models: Cher,
Lizette, and Janice:
Thank you especially for your patience in all shooting of the locations, as
they all took more time than expected.
Cher, thanks for the time you put in especially when traveling from San Jose
to the many shooting locations of the video; the "Lady in Red" mesmerizes
us all...
Lizette, thanks for your patience and willingness to make your scene definitely
the most eye-catching and memorable; "Hot Wax Forever!"
Janice, thanks for the sacrifices you made for us; you practically saved the
video when we called you last minute. And your ability to endure the cold wind
and transform into a warm, heavenly woman on the word "action" has
amazed us all.
We are truly honored to have had the three of you in Legaci's very first music
video.
To the EXTRAS:
Thanks to those who endured the "Make Sweet Love" Marathon... a slow
dance to the same song for 4 hours... A shoot that was supposed to finish in
2 but setup was much harder than perceived... madd props for your patience and
endurance: Joel Tatum, Sheera Faris, Justin Fernandez, Rebecca Wong, Kathleen
Ternate, Jeel-Marie Plenos, Gerald "Brock" Dabi, Louie Ejanda, Crystal
Zapanta, Victor Cobar
To Claire Ejanda:
Thank you for your creative input for the music video... your ideas are always
clever and unique, whether it be for dancing, costumes, props, or movies. And
one day it will happen: we must choreograph a Jazz routine together! With Micah
too! Yay!!!
To Chris Ngo:
Hey Cuzz... thanks for your input and telling me "how it is;" for
being REAL with me and letting me know what it takes to make this video the
best it can be.
To Lyle El Gal:
Man o man! Look at how far we've come! It was YOUR kung fu movie with your friends
that first sparked that flame inside me to create videos... i couldn't have
gotten to where i am today without first learning the "Camcorder to VCR"
edit... damn.. that's old school! Thanks "Hershey!"
To my Daddy:
More important than just the equipment we used for the video, thanks for your
loving support throughout this project and all the projects i've had in my life...
you've always been there to show me the way everytime i'd get off track and
pushed me to always be "ahead of the game" and never forgetting "to
pray"
To my Mommy:
Even though you're miles away, your love and encouragement for me to be the
best I can be makes me who I am today... Thank you for supporting me my dreams.
To my brother Simon & sister-in-law Queenie:
Hey Diko & Che! Thanks for not only giving me a place to stay as i pursue
my dreams but also being there and supporting me in all of my projects... and
guess who's music video is next! (and still gotta edit that wedding too!). Also,
thanks for providing a place to stay for Legaci & Crew and for putting up
with Micah unleashing a monster stankin' HERSH...
To my brother Jason:
Hey Kuy! Man, even though I still only see you once or twice a year, you have
made a huge influence on my personality! Your ability to be a commanding officer
in the military yet still come home and be the same old funny, crazy, and daring
Kuya "J" is something very few can do, if anyone else. Our prayers
are with you and all of the U.S. Military as you continue to defend this beautiful
country.
To The Banquet at CMC:
Thank you for use of your dance hall and to the workers who were patient to
stay late night for the whole duration of the video shoot.
To Balloons Plus:
Thank you Tito Veeday & Tita Flor for the exquisite balloon decorations.
Hmmm…. How would you like a Balloons Plus COMMERCIAL, eh?!
To Chris Ibarguen:
What's a music video without the MAN to build the computer to edit it! Thanks
for your help in the creation of COMP6, my "monster" computer specially
designed for video production... RPB baby! From Monte Vista to the WORLD!
To Louise:
Thanks for the use of your beautiful boat.. you didn't even trip that much when
Micah's
heavy ass fell on the canopy.. thanks man.. up next, we all skydive in the next
video!
To Alymar:
Thanks for use of your classy studio.. see, told you we wouldn't burn the place
down with all those candles!
To Vic Cobar:
Thanks to my right-hand man, the All-In-Wonder Boy, dedicated to help out on
every shoot as: light diffuser, sound man, candle boy, right-hand generator
transporter, Rose
Pedal Boy, Match Man
To Ricky Afuang:
Thanks to my little cousin, that jerk, as light diffuser #2, reflector boy,
water boy.. and thanks for getting your brand new shoes soaked so we can get
proper lighting for the beach shot.. and no,
you're not getting any new shoes from us. :
G2K!!!
To Justin "Infinity"
Fernandez:
Thanks to my boy Justin, Mr. Food Caterer, chick magnet, model searcher
"What are you talking about Justin?!"
To Tracy Flancia: Thanks to my cousin Fly Girl
Cee, the one who most appreciates and loves my "Dirty Director's Look,"
as Miss Food Caterer and balloon decorator. We'll see who gets the last laugh
when Jedi Fitness sets in…
Mwahahahahahaa!
To Ron: Thanks to the San Ho, Ron, light diffuser #3, rose pedal boy #2
To Micah's Mom:
Thanks you for letting us use your candle props for the video shoot
To the real-life girlfriends of each member of Legaci
(Claire, Marissa,
Jenny):
Thanks for being mature and patient with the video shoot. And thanks especially
for being understanding concerning the romantic scenes with each of the models.
We're not big record label stars yet, but it is understandable how the "business"
of an entertainer can sometimes conflict with personal relationships.
To the Honda Generator ( >:
\ ) :
Thank you Honda for generating painful blisters and 250 lbs of Hell to carry
down to Ocean
Beach which was only used for the BoomBox and put Vic's life at stake with all
the extension cords and power surges wrapped around him like he wanted to take
his last breath on this mission... but of course we wouldn't let that happen...
and for actually working at the Legion of Doom for the "concert" shot...
To Dan Villalva, my internship supervisor at the Community
Media Center of Santa Rosa:
Thank you for your guidance throughout the years of my internship at CMC, especially
for sharing with me your personal knowledge and wisdom of your experience in
the entertainment field. Just remember, whenever you need crew for a movie shoot,
I'll be there to help!
To Jim Helmer, my Television Production teacher at
the Santa Rosa Junior College:
Can you imagine how far I've come? From Nelson Knight to Legaci! It was your
class that first introduced me to the whole new world behind the camera, the
world I've fallen in love with. And it was that first big video project I created
for your class, Nelson Knight, that pushed me forward to create more and more
and never stop. Thank you for your teachings, support, and guidance through
all of my movie endeavors.
May the struggle commence to
