Praying from Afar is a 360 music video infusing Chinese Folk and Electronica, imbued with love, jealousy and anger through the representation of a wedding gone awry. The singer represents a jealous observer with vengeful thoughts. The same wedding appears in two totally different styles – one romantic, the other dark and upsetting. The lyrics sound a blessing, whereas the visual shows quite the opposite.
About the Director
Melody Liu is a Chinese Singer and Songwriter, dipping her toes for the first time into 360-content creation. Her history informs her personal approach to production. Born in the frozen grasslands of Inner Mongolia, her journey has led her to the tropical islands in South East Asia and most recently to New York City. Her dream is to help the world break free from bias and preconceptions, and tell the real story of what it means to be Chinese.
