Entirely shot on the Canon 5D MK II, Way beyond the end is a music video Written, Directed, Produced and Performed by Paulo Dominique Nacianceno. Performing as his lead man is James Christopher Reed. The music and lyrics of Way beyond the end is composed by Jeni Wallwork. Way beyond the end is a gay themed music video about the loss of a loved one. It endeavours to depict love in a homosexual relationship, whilst trying to steer away from the prescribed notions and stereotypes often portrayed in the media. It shows different stages of the relationship in flashbacks, as well as the grief process shown in current time, and set in a church. Whilst the performer sings, the mourners are frozen in time. Suspended animation suggests a larger narrative in a space of a single incident. It allows the viewers to focus on the emotion of the scene. The images created are employed to great effect to lure viewers who are motivated to draw their own conclusions on the relationships between the performer and the mourners.
