Remaking Sampai Syurga

A friend was hanging out in my room and confided me about his recent break up with his long time girlfriend. He told me that the girl suddenly changed her mind and decided to end it.
My laptop randomly played Sampai Syurga and by the end of the song, he cried and said to me "But you know what Afiq, now I know, now I realize that Allah will love me no matter what.." He was sobbing hard, his mouth twitched uncontrollably as he struggled to finish his sentence "No matter what shit life throws at me, He's always there."

I know Faizal Tahir already has a music video for his latest hit Sampai Syurga but it didn't resonate the emotions I had in mind.

Original music video:


It's abstract, fine. It's a girl swimming in the heavens, fine. It's Faizal Tahir with his slicky hair whipping his wet see-through shirt, fine.

And then it came to me. You know when you pray, the only part of yourself that you could see is your feet? The sight of our feet reminds us about our spiritual link with God.

So I made a video of a guy experiencing a difficult ordeal from a perspective of his head looking down on his feet, only to realize that he didn't have to look far to find his true love. He just had to look down.
My music video:

I shot the whole thing yesterday and finished the editing a few hours ago. I showed it to my friend, only to receive a grizzly hug that must have lasted a whole minute.
What do you think?

woah... you almost cried?

Yea, ppl wont get the story during the first 2 minute. Well, it's like a typical plot. It builds up until the end.

I'm glad you liked it! : )
