The production of a music video goes beyond just cameras and lights; it’s about establishing a connection. It’s essential to understand the story behind a song and the reasons an artist chooses to perform it a certain way. When that connection is achieved, everything gains meaning.
That’s how this project with Nacho Pérez came to life, where we filmed two music videos in a single day:“Todo mi Amor” and “Lastimarte”, both shot at Agalmata Creative House in Monterrey.
A Collaboration with History
As a director, I had the incredible opportunity to work with Nacho back in 2018, on a music video that played a key role in his selection for La Voz México. Since then, we’ve crossed paths through concerts and other projects, allowing us to get to know each other beyond the professional scope.
That first video, "Memoria", was created in early 2018.
During one of our conversations, Nacho proudly showed me Super 8mm footage filmed by his father, featuring him as a child dancing to Michael Jackson. From a young age, Nacho experienced music through movement, emotion, and expression. Seeing those videos allowed me to understand his roots—and that understanding became essential to giving these new songs their visual identity.
The Value of Optimizing
For an independent artist, producing a music video is a significant investment: director, crew, gear, studio rental, art direction, logistics… It's a considerable challenge.
That’s why we decided to consolidate both projects into a single shoot day, maximizing the use of space, lighting, production design, and the team’s time. By focusing the narrative on performance, rhythm, and emotional intent, we were able to deliver something clean, honest, and visually powerful—without compromising quality.
Two Songs, Two Worlds
Even though both videos were shot on the same day and location, each was conceived with a distinct identity.
“Todo mi Amor” carries a more intimate energy, centered on choreography but supported by character and expression.“Lastimarte”, while also choreographed, leans into something more introspective, with a tighter control of space and lighting.
Agalmata became the perfect canvas to shape each scene with flexibility and intention. The crew, committed until the very last take, made every shot count.
Creating Through Empathy
At Antimateria, filmmaking goes beyond execution—it’s about understanding. We take the time to listen to the artist, to understand the reasons behind their work, what they want to express, and how they feel it.
This kind of understanding only comes through time, trust, and mutual commitment.
This project is the result of that: of years of getting to know each other, of respecting each other’s process, and of creating with heart and intention.
