Ghaury Oh Ghaury....


Ghaury means sunlight... and as fast as the light goes, this production was also fast in term of preparation. My God, this might be a very challenging production ever. Within two days we had to prepare everything from location, crews, talents and the band itself. With only limited time that we had, finally we'd decided to go on camera on the 21st of May 2010. And the story continued.



Using the lyrics as the main concept for this music video, it told a story of a young worker who got an acceptance to work abroad. He was very happy yet also sad because in the end he had to tell his girl that he's leaving.The main talent are a very talented actor and actress, Udji Tongky and Yasmine Wildblood.
Here are some details about the crew for this music video:
  • Director Etienne Caesar
  • DOP Reza
  • Art Dir Windu Arifin
  • Editor Bima Girindra
With island of Untung Jawa as the location for shooting, we had a long way to get there. First we had to drive until the very end of Soekarno-Hatta Airport. From this area of Tangerang, we had to drive about 10 km to the place called Teluk Naga. And the journey continued. We still had to cross the sea by not so big boat made from wood for about 45 minutes. My God, if this was not an "idol project" (my own admiration to one of the greatest guitarist in Indonesia), I will not put my life for 45 minutes in a wooden boat, hoping that this misery will end.















Unbelievable view indeed. Only two hours from crowded and hectic Jakarta, we found our own sanctuary. I wished that our production also run smoothly. After all the major troubles that we had to go through, we wrapped the shot just before midnight. And oh my GOD... I had to go all that feeling again, crossing the sea in wooden boat at midnight. What a good closing to end the day....
