Tune in to MTV Making the Video with Shell on TV3 and you will get a candid behind-the-scenes insight into the creative process behind Tinny`s hot new music video.
MTV cameras followed the Ghanaian hip-life sensation in December 2007 as he strove to complete the brand new music video for `Incomplete`, together with director Rachel Watanabe-Batton and a crew of Ghanaian video directors.
Tinny is one of just five musicians around the continent who have benefited from the MTV Making the Video with Shell initiative, which enabled Tinny to have a brand new music video shot free of charge by international music video director Rachel Watanabe. The video for Incomplete will premiere on TV3 on Saturday 1 March 2008at 4.30pm local time.
Commented Alex Okosi, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, MTV Networks Africa: `The video for Incomplete is a great testament to the success of the result of the Making the Video with Shell initiative, which aims to uplift the African music industry by sharing best practice and forging collaborations between local music video talent and top international video directors. We`re delighted by the results of the project which has created a compelling, high quality and polished video that does full justice to Tinny`s own vision and artistry.`
Commented director Rachel Watanabe-Batton: ``It was a wonderful opportunity to be a part of the workshops in Ghana with MTV and Shell. I really enjoyed working with the whole crew in Accra to make the video, and especially Tinny. The collaboration was energising and I am incredibly excited about the video. The edit went really well and Tinny comes across brilliantly - it was a pleasure to work on this track and with such a talented artist!`
Tinny also commented, `I believe MTV base is the biggest platform for me to showcase my talent and to carve a credible image for myself, so for them to have produced at their expense this video with Shell - plus the opportunity to work with a director of international repute as Rachel – is just my dream come true...`
The video for `Incomplete` was directed by Rachel Watanabe-Batton and produced by Moroba Nkawe and Michelle Wheatley of DV8 Films. Local production services were provided by DV8 Films.
MTV Making the Video with Shell is sponsored by Shell in association with TV3, JOY FM (Accra), Skyy Power FM (Takoradi) and Fox FM (Kumasi).
