Chal Diye by Zeb and Haniya, official music video

Our official video for Chal Diye, made by a very talented young film maker and animator, Nida Fatima Khan. Here's what she has to say about the video:

"The production for the music video took about four months. For this music video, I wanted to pay homepage traditional Miniature Painting, that is why most of the environments for the project are influenced by Islamic Art. And it was important to use Islamic geometric patterns for the interiors and existing historical buildings of Lahore, such as, the Wazir Khan Mosque, as references for the architecture. The garden islands, clouds, and, foliage are derived from Persian Miniature Paintings, which are an important part of Pakistani Art History. It was important not to replicate elements from these paintings but instead to recreate them in a more contemporary representation, and still keep the feel of the original art form. "

Good Song but Very Well Done Nida Fatima khan.

@phosu I have to completely disagree with you on that. I felt those things you pointed are what made the video so special. The whole raw, jagged, amateurish feel of the video is what makes it so likeable. I would have hated a perfectly post-produced inspired-from-other-videos video ! :)

I think its an awesome video....a real tribute to South Asian architecture and arts. I think it perfectly complements the song (which is perhaps unfortunately one of zeb and haniya's most under-appreciated songs).

well, i prefer the coke studio version more. as for the video, there was no interaction of singers with the camera, so as a viewer i felt disengaged. there were no close up shots, nor was there much interaction of singers with the animation itself. the falling scene was a little awkward, she should be peaceful rather than struggling during her fall. synchronization of singers with animation was done poorly, frames are slow. tho kudos for the effort, but research by watchin other vids :)
