Actors

Rap music videos tend to feature a lot of actors besides the Artist. So it was absolutely necessary to cast quite a few actors. Luckily for me I had some friends that were down to do the music video.

Andrei Pop

Role: plays Pashanim, the artist

He's wearing everyday clothes, jeans and Nike trainers. This is because that's how the actors in the original music video dress.

I've chosen him to play the main character because he matched all my requirements. He constantly listens to Pashanim, so he knows what I had in mind to film. Shababs Botten is a personal favourite of his, meaning that he can lip sync easily on it. He also dresses like that everyday, so he had plenty of clothes to choose from with which to appear in the music video.

He is a suitable actor in this genre of music videos because firstly he listens daily to this kind of music, dresses like the actors in the music video, is a natural when it comes top doing hand gestures. Can 'go with the flow' and even improvise before the camera during filming.

Ioachim Stetca

Role: supporting actor.

I'm wearing everyday clothes as well, Nike trainers, jeans, an Arsenal jersey and a Lacoste crewneck.

My main asset is that I speak German fluently, so I can perfectly lip-sync on the track.

At first I wanted to be the main actor in the whole music video, but then remembered that somebody had to film the whole thing, and it would be a tiresome job to try to explain how I wanted to do every shot.

I'm also a suitable actor for this genre of music videos because I dress accordingly, listen to this kind of music and am a teenager.

Actors for the music reel:

Gabriel Rogoti

Role: supporting actor

He's suitable for the role as he played in some videos before, his experience coupled with his enthusiasm to play in my video really meant much when casting him. I consider him a perfect match for my video because he was so enthusiast to join.

Gabriel also listens to this genre of music and dresses accordingly. He also is about the same height as Andrei Pop, thus looking good when acting besides him.

He won't feature in the final music video as he can't speak German fluently, and thus can't lip sync very good on the music

Matei Miron

Role: supporting actor for some shots

Although he never had any experience filming before I still wanted him on the set. He is from the same friend group as me, Andrei and Gabriel, meaning he has the same interests as us when it comes to music and fashion.

Since he didn't have any experience with filming before, I decided to give him the easiest role, appearing in a few shots, always in the background.
