Look for the star in the sky, And know that I am looking at it… |

Ruslana:
| “ | Have we had more time for shooting the video, we would have produced a modernized version “Alice in the Wonderland!.. | ” |
The idea for the video, is that a girl that goes through all of the trials of life -- including but not limited to fame, money, passion and love -- and overcomes everything with the help of the forces of nature (fire, wind).
Ruslana:
| “ | Never during a video shoot had a camera focused so much attention on me! The cameras were recording from every direction: left, right, top, bottom. The cameras then angled themselves to record close-ups and wide angle shots which captured practically every inch of me: ear, nose… Now, all my fans have an unprecedented opportunity to take a close-up look at me. Stylists did great job adding and removing unnecessary spots so, I must admit, I look beautiful :-) …just like a cover girl!
However, all joking aside, I sincerely hope that the audience understands the message of the video clip. |
