THE RECORDINGS OF THE RAPPER & SINGER "SLYPHER" FOR THIS VIDEO WERE TAKEN COMPLETELY SPONTANEOUS WITHIN A FEW HOURS. I LATER CUT THIS VIDEO INTO A SONG BY THE SAME MUSICIAN CALLED "YOUR EYES". IT REPRESENTS A BLEND OF A MUSIC VIDEO AND AN ABSTRACT FREE WORK.
INSPIRED BY THE FAMOUS QUOTE OF THE FOUNDER OF THE THEORY OF EVOTION, charles darwin, THIS SLOW BUT VERY EMOTIONALLY STRONG VIDEO WAS CREATED:
"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved."
In this very abstract video I played with the footage of the artist "raiwun" in after effects and tried out all sorts of overlays and combinations. the song is from "the weeknd" and when i heard it for the first time it was immediately clear to me that this is the right background music for this project
as the name suggests, this video is dedicated to the summer of 2018. it was a special time for me in which i got to know many new artists and worked with them. THE CLIPS FOR THIS VIDEO ARE ALL FILMED IN MUNICH OVER SEVERAL DAYS. I JUST HAD MY CAMERA WITH ME WHEN I MET WITH FRIENDS AND THIS VIDEO WAS NEVER PLANNED BUT THE RECORDINGS ARE FREESTYLE, TAKEN OUT OF THE SITUATION. I JUST HAD THE IDEA FOR THE EDITING A FEW MONTHS LATER. THIS IS WHAT THIS FREE WORK WAS CREATED TO A SONG FROM "THE WEEKND".
MY MOST ABSTRACT VIDEO YET. I PLAYED WITH EVERY COLOR AND FADING MODE I CAN THINK ABOUT, USING CLIPS FROM VARIOUS VIDEOS OF ME. Everyone is welcome to interpret the song in the background of "the weeknd" themselves, in any case it fitted perfectly with my vision for this project.
THIS VIDEO WAS CREATED WITHOUT PLANNING. THE SHOTS WERE ALL SHOOTED IN ONE EVENING IN TUSCANY, ITALY. ORIGINALLY PLANNED AS A HOLIDAY VIDEO, I QUICKLY REALIZED THAT MORE CAN BE MADE OF IT AND SO THE CONCEPT WAS ONLY CREATED DURING THE EDITING. INTERPRETING THE MEANING IS NOT EASY, BUT EVERYONE SHOULD FIND THEIR OWN.
THIS VIDEO WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED AS A MUSIC VIDEO FOR THE MUSICIAN "SLYPHER". DOCJH IT WAS NEVER COMPLETED FOR TIME AND ORGANIZATIONAL REASONS. NOTHING THERE I HAVE TAKEN THE BEGINNING OF THE SHOT.AND CUT THE ABSTRACT RECORDINGS TOGETHER TO THE SONG.. THE RESULT IS A VERY UNUSUAL MUSIC VIDEO AS A FREE WORK WITH ALL ARTISTIC FREEDOM.
ONE DAY, WHEN I MET THE DANCER CHARLOTTE, WE DECIDED TO SHOOT A DANCE VIDEO TOGETHER. THE SELECTED LOCATION ABOVE THE ROOFS OF MUNICH IS A CAR PARK WITH EXCEPTIONAL ARCHITECTURE AND ARTISTIC ELEMENTS.
THIS VIDEO WAS AWARE SPONTANEOUS WHEN WE MET AGAIN IN THE STUDIO OF THE PRODUCER "SYNKOPE", WHILE THE RAPPER "RAIWUN" COVERS THE SONG "DRUG DEALERS ANONYMOUS" BY "JAY-Z" AND "PUSHA-T". IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST VIDEOS I RECORDED IN PRORES RAW AT 4K AND 100 FPS USING AN EXTERNAL RECORDER.
THIS 2016 VIDEO IS A SIMPLE VACATION VIDEO, SHOOTED IN TUSCANY, ITALY. THIS TIME I EXPERIMENTED FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH VERY HIGH FRAMERATES, ie SUPER SLOW MOTION. PERFECTLY, I CHOOSE THE RIGHT SONG AS THE BACKGROUND MUSIC: "SLOW-MOTION" BY "SHINDY"
