Shine Your Light Music Video in Dominican Republic


On the Sunday, in the Dominican Republic with a local production crew, Kyle filmed the video for “Shine Your Light” with 70% of the cast and crew being Spanish speakers, 3 translators to relay his direction to the Spanish casting crew. and a team who managed to pull off the language barrier exceptionally, thus giving us the bright and colourful music video within five days of Kyle’s initial call to take on the job.
In the “Shine Your Light” music video, Kyle captures a feel-good vibe as Akon and Master KG ride around in a ‘slahla’ (drop-top car) and sing out their message of hope. The pair stop to dance with the locals and have fun in a festival-themed setting as the flags of the countries of the world fly above them. Not to mention, legendary DJ Icon and hitmaker, David Guetta can also be spotted having fun, smiling and dancing in this momentous video
Kyle’s work in “Shine Your Light” has been praised for its crisp visuals and a nostalgic essence of the incredible energy and good vibes South African “2010 Soccer World Cup” made South Africa all feel.
Kyle has directed music videos for several South African recording artists including Nasty C, Tellaman and Lady Zamar. His quality work is evident in these local projects and it was only a matter of time before he caught the eye of international tastemakers to recruit him for their global project of Hollywood standard.
Kyle took to Instagram to humbly express his gratitude for the opportunity, his team and his support system for making it possible.
Kyle relays his experience in working on this production – “The shoot seemed like it went by in a flash. It was an exciting, difficult and nerve-wracking experience. Akon and Master KG were both awesome to work with, down-to-earth nice guys, making the process of creating this music video under such stressful circumstances much easier. I grew a lot as a person and as a director. I am so grateful for this opportunity to work with world-class talent on the biggest, Hollywood level, music video of my career to date.”
