See What I'm Saying - Music Video of Film's Title Song

Posted by: admin

Tagged in: Untagged 

I am proud to announce that Sprint has come on board as the film's title sponsor for See What I'm Saying. We are in the progress of gearing up for an official announcement of Sprint's involvement which will include sponsorship of our world premiere, a 25-city tour of the film and the music video of our title song, "See What I'm Saying" that was written and performed by the rock band Powder for the film.

The music video will be filmed in Los Angeles with the professional Cirque Du Soleil type aerial act of the Silk Sisters, will feature several deaf actors from around the country and be filmed December 13-14, 2009 as a short film.

The storyline will be completely different from the documentary, based on a young deaf girl who has trouble communicating with her hearing mother and fantasizes about a world that is completely accessible to her. She shows her mother her beautiful world where everyone can sign and communicate easily.

There is some amazing new technology that Sprint has for the deaf and hard of hearing including SprintRelay, which utilizes video interpreters to interpret phone calls, Sprint Cap Tel and Web Cap Tel, which combines the convenience of a telephone with the text capabilities of the internet. We will show some of these features in our music video.

The music video will be shown before the feature documentary on the 25-city tour and online through both the See What I'm Saying website and on Sprint's website.

I'm uploading the storyboards for you to see the general idea of the music video.

Enjoy, and welcome to this next chapter in our journey!

 

SEE WHAT I'M SAYING - STORYBOARDS FOR MUSIC VIDEO by Randall Walk

 

Lyrics:

I'm here, you're there, you ask me something...

(But I don't hear you)

I turn, you've left

And now there's nothing

(Unless you touch my shoulder)

I use my hands, I read your lips

I just want to talk to you.

 

Chorus: See What I'm Saying

See what I'm feeling

See what I'm trying, trying to break through

See what I'm saying

See what I'm being

Being myself 'cause I'm supposed to

Cause I have a voice like you.

 

You're here, I'm there

We start connecting

(I know you see me)

We laugh, we cry, communicating

So we come together

I use my hands, I read your lips

Now I can talk to you.

 

Chorus:

See what I'm saying

See what I'm feeling

See what I'm trying

Trying to break through

Chorus: (cont.)

See what I'm saying

See what I'm being

Being myself cause I'm supposed to

(myself cause I'm supposed to)

See what I'm saying

See what I'm feeling

Cause I... have a voice like you.

EXTREMELY INTRIGUED!!
I get emails from sprint relay and they talked about your 25- city tour.
After reading this website, watching the trailer...I can say that I am anxious, curious, excited and hopeful that "See What I'm Saying" comes to a city near me!! And by near me...I mean, I'll travel up to 200+ miles if necessary!!
I can't wait to pass this information along!!

As a fellow deaf musician -- Can't wait to see the movie!
Great job on this guys, I am floored that there may be many others like me out there and this documentary is going to highlight some of those gifted individuals.

I am a composer for dance and also the lead guitarist for a NYC rock band www.vinyette.com I would love to share my story too and I do through the music I write and the things that we create together.

Courageous stuff by all involved, keep it up!

WONDERFUL! EXCITING! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE! These are my feelings when I see parts of the film that I relate to.....Moreover, I love how the movie snippet is portrayed and feel this medium, visual/sound/music is an important message to get out there for all to see. The trailer is wonderful...Keep up! Wonderful to hear Sprint is your sponsor. I wish you all a wonderful journey.
