Shooting of video in Ghana has become more
expensive because of the improvement in the
quality and standard of videos of late. One genre of
music which has been criticized for a very long
time for poor quality music videos is the gospel
music.
It appeared that, gospel musicians were taking
music videos for granted until recently when
technology has exposed their lazy work.
Today, we have many gospel musicians who are
shooting wonderful videos to compete with most of
the secular music videos we have in the country.
One of those gospel musicians happens to be the
multiple awards – winning gospel musician
Empress Gifty Osei.
Her recent album Jesus Be Too Much which is
currently on an editing bench was shot with GHc
9000 cash. The video was shot by Emklan Videos,
Directed by Quophi Okyeame, a radio Presenter at
Rainbow Radio in Accra. Quophi Okyeame has shot
a lot of award winning video clips but according to
him, this one with Gifty Osei is extraordinary.
This video was shot at four different locations.

In the video, Gifty Osei is dressed like a Queen clad
in queenly regalia and is enstooled in a particular
community.
It happens that, the community in which she is
being enstooled doubts her credibility and some
begin to ask questions as to when she came into
the system to deserve that honour. But all Gifty
Osei does whiles accepting the honour is to sing to
the masses gathered that, it is Jesus who has
made her who she is.
Speaking to Gifty Osei, she told this reporter that
she had really invested in the video and that she
was expecting a lot of response from it. “It is not
easy to shoot a video with GHc 9000. It calls for
someone who is serious and understand what he or
she wants from her music life to do such a thing.
My management and I have agreed that, my
subsequent videos will all enjoy same effort and
investments in order to reach our expectations,”
Gifty Osei expressed.
