Overview

THIS MUSIC VIDEO RECEIVED A VIMEO STAFF PICK AND LATER BECAME A TOP FIVE FINALIST IN THE !K7 VIDEO COMPETITION. WE SHOT THE VIDEO ON A SMALL FARM IN JEOLLABUK-DO PROVINCE, SOUTH KOREA, IN FEBRUARY 2011. THE STORYLINE GREW OUT OF THE SONG’S LYRICS, WHICH DESCRIBE AN UNREQUITED LOVE AND A LONGING THAT CANNOT BE ANSWERED.

WE DEVELOPED A CONCEPT ABOUT A PAIR OF TWINS, A BROTHER AND SISTER, WHO HAVE GROWN UP AND WORKED TOGETHER ON THEIR PARENTS’ FARM. THEIR CLOSE BOND BEGINS TO TURN INTO A FEELING THEY CANNOT UNDERSTAND AND KNOW THEY MUST HIDE. THIS INTERNAL STRUGGLE BECAME THE EMOTIONAL CORE OF THE VIDEO.

I DIRECTED THE PROJECT TOGETHER WITH NEIL DOWLING. IN ADDITION, I WORKED AS THE CINEMATOGRAPHER AND LATER AS THE EDITOR AND COLORIST DURING POST-PRODUCTION.

A RANDOM YOUTUBE VIEWER WRITES: “THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE BEST MUSIC VIDEOS I’VE EVER SEEN. IT’S AS DISCONCERTING AS THE SONG, BUT A LITTLE MORE HUMAN, MAKING IT FEEL LESS SPACEY. IT’S REALLY FUCKING BRILLIANT – WELL DONE!”

MILLEFIORE CLARKES WRITES ON VIMEO: “WONDERFULLY STRANGE INDEED. IT’S LIKE MY SENSES AND PERCEPTIONS WERE BEING PULLED IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. BRILLIANT!”
