Monstablokaz Presents The Official Stay Strong Video
July 9th, 2010 | By MB Team
Monstablokaz is proud to present the video for the B-Side Single for “STAY STRONG”, by Addis. Addis mentioned: “We had tons of fun shootin’ the video in our hometown Orlando, FL. The crew did a great job and we want to thank all parties involved.”
Monstablokaz USA wants to extend the thanx to the “Littlefield” family, who helped us out with the locations. Also to all the kids, parents and actors that showed up and made it an excellent experience.
The whole team wants to give special thanx to the Director Aden Bahadori, the Producer Davin Black and the DoP Robert Scarborough, who worked very hard to get this video done in a major way.
Addis worked with the 235films family from Toronto on more than 10 music videos and we love the way they visualize our songs. Also shout out to Harv Glazer who’s always showin’ love when it comes to our music.
Addis had this to say about the concept for the Stay Strong video:
“The day we produced the record, we wanted to put out a positive message for all the people who are in a certain situation that makes them feel like givin’ up in life. And let’s be real, we all have been in a situation like that at least once and could have used some words that help us get back on our feet and make things happen. So me and Aden Bahadori, who’s a close friend of mine, came up with that storyline that shows multiple people in different situations that make them feel either depressed or like a failure in life.
The kids symbolize the “hope” and the fresh, unbiased inner child in us, that lets us forget about the trials and tribulations in life. The Director Aden Bahadori was able to tie all these stories together at the end of the video, making sure that the viewer understands, no matter in what situation you find yourself in, there’s a way out, and sometimes it’s even closer than you think.
My personal goal was to portrait “HOPE” with this video in an artistic way. And i believe we did a great job with this video for STAY STRONG”
