Journal Entry:
Listening to Dajai's "Not A Regular Person" on my headphones, I'm transported into a different world - dark and moody but still mesmerizing. The track has an atmospheric vibe that makes me feel like I'm soaring above the clouds or lost in a misty forest.
The aesthetic I would pair with this song is dark gothic. Think black leather jackets, fishnet tights, and dark lipstick - all things that add to the mysterious and enigmatic mood of the track. The color palette should be dark, with shades of black, deep reds, and hints of purple to enhance the mystical and otherworldly atmosphere.
When I close my eyes and let the song wash over me, I can almost imagine myself standing on a cliff overlooking a city skyline at night. The wind is blowing hard against my face, and the only sound is the beating of my heart in sync with the pounding drums on the track. This is my kind of magic - where music and imagination come together to create something truly special.
🎛️ Solana Conejo's engineer notes
Today I worked on mixing and mastering DAJAI's track "Not A Regular Person" for his project Dajai.io. The delivery of this track is really impressive - the flow and cadence are on point, with a great sense of timing throughout.
The vocal production on this track is top-notch. I can hear some nice doubles and ad-libs that add depth to the performance. Additionally, there are some well-executed vocal stacks that add power and energy to the chorus sections.
One of the key things I noticed in terms of production is that DAJAI's approach works so well because he really knows how to use his voice effectively. He has a great sense of melody and harmony, and it shows in the way he layers and manipulates his vocal tracks. The gear we used for this project was top-notch - the Neumann U47 microphone was particularly impressive, capturing the nuances of DAJAI's voice with ease. All in all, I'm really pleased with how this track turned out - it sounds great and I can't wait to hear what people think of it!
🎥 Mykina's BTS journal
As I sit in the room behind the camera, observing the HBU cast as they shoot the music video for Dajai.io's "Not A Regular Person (3)", I can't help but feel a sense of anticipation and excitement. The energy in the room is electric, with the cast members fully immersed in their performances.
One specific moment that caught my attention was when the lead singer hit the high note in the chorus. The entire room shook with the intensity of their performance. It was a goosebump-inducing moment that showcased the raw talent and passion of the cast members.
Aside from the main performances, there were also several behind-the-scenes moments that I noticed. The director giving last-minute instructions to the cast, the camera crew adjusting their shots, and the costume designer making sure everything was perfect for each scene. It's these small details that make a music video shoot like this one truly special.
