unpredictable career than Enos Olik. He started out as a musician,
then photographer until he discovered where his heart lay – music
video production. It was natural for him as he always had a taste for
music. The 25-year-old working under the Main Switch Entertainment
label enjoys assembling different shots to create an off the wall
music video. Jaguar’s latest video Enos currently has two of his
productions listed as video of the week in most of the television
music shows, one titled Paid My Dues by Anto Neosoul and the
flamboyant singer Jaguar’s latest video to the song Kioo. Tracing
his journey into music video production, Enos, a Commerce graduate
from The University of Nairobi who also has a certificate in 3D
animation, says his entry into the video production has been a
gradual, starting with producing You Tube slide shows for artistes at
no cost. “I started off as a professional photographer and took
photos for artistes during stage performances and live studio
recordings; photos of which I would edit and produce slide shows and
give the artistes free of charge,” he recalls. Earning the trust of
most of these artistes in the local entertainment scene was not an
uphill task for Enos, as he was once a musician and a member of the
Azizi music band. Post-production stages A few months into
photography, his close friend Chris Adwar of the Villagers Band
encouraged him to try his hand in music videos. “It was Chris Adwar
who offered me my first job as music video director. Soon after the
success of my inaugural job, I knew I had found a new passion which
would go well with my skills in 3D animation, graphics and video
editing,” he said. Enos says music video production just like in
film production, involves a lot of planning in both pre-production
and post-production stages. “The stages of producing the video
involve listening to the song, probing the client ideas, location
scouting and the budget
