The wind continued to batter the window; the weather was colder in England. Not far away, Billy rested from the annoyance of hearing congratulations over and over again, even in summer, clouds occasionally appeared in the summery weather.
They arrived at a small music studio; they needed to record some songs for the MV, along with the participation of a British studio to make a small video for four of the songs. They would take the four most popular songs. Billy mentioned that to save costs, the song could be taken as a mandala that swirls around for "Seven Nation Army," with shades of red, black, gray, and white, an idea that came to his mind on how to portray the video.
-It's even harder now to interact with ordinary people, - his mother commented, observing a fixed group of fans nearby, as two concerts were a big shock for the UK, how his music through a song began to fill the whole music environment.
-Well, it was to be expected, - Billy commented.
They arrived at the music studio; there were a total of five ideas for each song on how the music videos should be transformed, each idea was a prototype of what they were looking for, the fact that Billy didn't have an MVA was disrespectful, they needed a magnificent song.
-The schedule for the next week and a half, - Jerry commented, delivering the time for each recording, which runs from nine in the morning until eight in the evening, an extended schedule that is painful but necessary.
The first video was for "Teenager."
The video was Billy in a theater, while allegorical bands marched around the entire place, while, in a small jump in time, the music band appeared walking through a carnival, as they moved from side to side.
The color palette, at Billy's request, was black and white; many of the movements were remarkable figures, going back and forth from one space to another, all in black and white. Billy had his eyes painted and vampire teeth. Following trends.
The second video, for "Can't Stop."
It was a dance video. As the song begins, the color palette changes to bright and saturated tones, with the band exploring different neighborhoods and urban spaces full of street art and graffiti, while people around perform some dances suitable for the presentation.
The shots are interspersed with scenes of people of all ages and backgrounds expressing their creativity through various forms of art, such as painting, dance, and music. And how Billy participates in each activity, being successful in all, carrying trophies, and how triumph begins to shine from top to bottom.
He films the special MVA for the music videos in a small studio in England, taking into account all the songs and recording a minimum of three MVs, then after a while, he travels throughout England.
The third video, for "Like Stone."
It's about a man sitting in the darkness, recalling his life. Billy appears shirtless, as the man transforms into Billy, he meets a girl he likes a lot. As they walk, he recounts his entire life, the hard life he lived as a worker, and a father, and how they both start telling their life stories, giving a gentle kiss that awakens them.Principio del formulario
The fourth video, "Be Yourself."
An idea from Billy.
Billy performing an exercise routine, facing off with strength against some other people, the fight for the championship, a struggle. It's a video focused on boxing, overcoming, and combat.
The four MVs will be recorded in the coming months; for now, each MV can be shot in small takes over two or three days, this is due.

-It's a lot of work for such a short time. But after this, we can travel around England, Mother, - Billy commented, seeing Agustina's expression.
-I know, but now more things are coming up, you even have a photo shoot scheduled; it's fair that they changed the reservations we had. Oh well! I'll call the places for next week; maybe Jerry himself has some ideas about what we can do, - Agustina commented, giving a slight glance to Jerry WWexler
The old man could only shake his head. Although it might be a good opportunity for four days off, as long as they follow the protocols and call him about the trip... Billy's fame is considerable, but right now he's not very well known, they have fans, but all handsome men have them.
They walked to the recording studio, which looked like a small citadel; multiple people were coming and going. Billy was taken by the makeup team; the first shots were all wide shots on a green screen. From the green screen, the next shots would take some time to set up the small scripts.
Agustina watched everything from a distance. While the band members received all the instructions they had to follow in the studio, like the small steps they had to take while moving, to avoid problems in production, because they wouldn't use high-end special effects, they would use a fast process. That required minimal body movements.
-We'll take different shots, - commented the MV director. Billy didn't even pay attention and nodded; little did he know that the director taking notes was a famous man who would later take big scenes in the world of cinema. Zack Snyder.
They took different shots; each shot was suitable for acting. In different takes, they followed the rhythm of each song, repeating each song three to four times.
-Now you can perform a chant; you can't move beyond the designated frame, - Zack Snyder commented.
-Okay, - Billy murmured, extending a finger.
They played softly; it was more of an imitation. Connor moved the drumsticks slowly, not giving more than a simple movement. Billy hummed the song in a whisper, as the sound process had already been recorded in the studio.
-Connor, you've got the rhythm of the new song down, - Billy commented.
For some time now, both Billy and Connor have been practicing new ways to see a song. Billy takes the original rhythms, but it's easy to continue and polish different styles, even a single chord can change the whole song.
-I have some; we can try them at the hotel. I've got a little way to show the new rhythm; I've learned how to use the metronome and the ¼, to 1/8 scales very well, - Connor commented.
Interrupted by Zack Snyder, they had to continue with their work.
Much later, Billy found out that the owner of the video was Zack Snyder, hitting his forehead with his hand at his carelessness.
