Alabao
Imagined by: Ana Santiago
Basic concept: the miracle of love at first sight
Characters: Enrique, Ana herself and a group of children
The set is a beautiful, romantic courtyard somwhere in a Meditarean location or maybe the surroundings of a small older villa. In the neighborhood there is a church. In the beginning there can be seen planty of frames of the beautiful landscapes.
"... Suddenly coming over me ..."
We see Enrique walking calmly towards Ana, but he hasn't seen her yet.
"Your eyes telling me that you hold the key"
They notice each other. Their eyes meet.
"You're so in tune with your body
And I can see that no one else will do.
'Cause I'm so into you"
She's surprised, he smiles. He also looks at her, admiring her. Close shots of eyes and faces expressions alternating .. his ... hers ... in the rhythm of the music ...
When the chorus starts we see the doors of the church opening and beautiful children running out in their church clothes. Both Enrique and Ana look like entranced while the group of kids reaches them.
"Alabao, you lift me up
Alabao, you knock me down
Alabao, you're the one that I adore"
There is some distance between the two, but the rustle of the playful kids make them coming closer and closer to each other. Several camera focuses on few kids' faces. Scenes are full of movement ... all the kids around Ana and Enrique still apart from each other for the whole second verse to follow.
By the second chorus Ana and Enrique are finally brought together. Few camera focuses on the gestures following the song theme ...
Like waking from a dream Enrique looks up, he reaches up and takes her hand. That happens during
"Take me here, make me yours now and forever" ...
"Alabao, you got the touch
Alabao, you got the motion
Alabao, just can't hold back anymore"
They start dancing with all those happy kids around them.
"Alabao, you lift me up
Alabao, you knock me down
Alabao, you're the one that I adore"
Circular shots of the whole set, higher and higher. The two keeping on dancing, looking deep into each others eyes an smiling ... while music fades away ...
