      UMG/WARNER RECORDSOmar Apollo “Live For Me” Music Video – Los Angeles & Madrid, September 2023
      We aimed to capture Omar’s character for the title track of Omar Apollo's EP, "Live for Me” released under Warner Records. 

      The video follows Omar's journey in a car traversing various environments and locations in LA & Madrid. This emphasizes Omar as an artist traveling the world and integrating in different environments. The blend of classic spaces and contemporary aesthetics forms the video's foundation, reflecting the album's musical essence.

      "Live for Me," the first single, opens the album with a theme of self-assurance. The song reflects on destiny's decisions, embracing them to build self-esteem and strength in Omar's character. The narrative parallels the song's lyrics—a declaration to a lover with an uncertain response—and scenes where characters face climactic risks. Despite nerves and insecurity, these characters show confidence and succeed, mirroring the song's resolution.
