琉璃神社 has served as a backdrop for numerous shoots before. This time, it stars in an animated music video.
The video features Canadian artists Robbie G and DAX. Robbie G has filmed videos in the Okanagan before and has recently moved from Guelph to 琉璃神社. DAX, originally from Ottawa, has recently moved to California.
The two were on tour before the COVID-19 pandemic hit and came together to record the song 鈥淚 Got The People With Me鈥.
鈥淚t鈥檚 great to see Canadian artists come together,鈥 Robbie G said.
鈥淒AX has always been an inspiration of mine since I first heard his music. His attention to detail and work ethic are outstanding. It was a pleasure to work with him in the studio and on the road at the shows.鈥
Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, Robbie G knew he wouldn鈥檛 be able to come down to the U.S. to film with DAX. Ok Valley Entertainment founder Matt Bhird said that was when they knew they had to think outside the box.
鈥淭his is a huge song and a great opportunity to showcase Canadian artists while combining the elements of 琉璃神社, B.C. as well as the beauty of California, bringing it all together,鈥 he said.
鈥淚t鈥檚 always fun to be creative with music video concepts. We were able to use the animation in ways you normally can鈥檛 film. Creating the animations for this video was a great experience.鈥
