the video for monument is some kind of
inner journey which i think is also what
the music is about like space
in time
and physicality and your own experience
of your body
it's about exploring the space around
you
and in you
and finding your own space within it all
half wheel
have fantasy
the camera itself could be a character
in a sci-fi movie from only maybe 10 20
years back
because it looks robotic and almost ai
like it is nice and creepy to have it
just
looking at you we're using a wire-based
camera system so you can move the
feeling of being kind of weightless
the song for me has a big
slow presence and that's something
hopefully we'll create with these
cameras live technology and it's fun to
play around with things and see what you
can do and try new things but also when
it's connected to
feeling
it's a feeling you want that's why you
use the technology to get the feeling
because max he's my boyfriend he heard
the song very early on and he said i
would like to talk to you about this
idea that i have he had a very strong i
think feeling about what he wanted to do
and he started developing it and then we
had all these conversations about what
this place could look like how do you
explain these emotions how do you
communicate these things in a way that
feels sincere but
not pretentious because the song is
already kind of pretentious and
the subject is too but in a good way you
know we feel like it's a mature world
there's going to be lights and darkness
colliding and the five of us will be set
in in the midst of all of this and it's
all being served on some sort of a
lit up platter to encapsulate this
ceremony that we're partaking in
there's also choreography made by after
fandinte they have a beautiful
playfulness
kind of childlike
fascination for things that is very
immediate they're willing to try
anything with me they're really going
for whatever i give them and they don't
censor themselves about it it's very
impressive
the skycam is wire based so it's four
wires from the ceiling and in the middle
there's a wig with a camera hanging off
a gyro
head so you can control it remotely when
you get the right kind of movements you
get a very very free-flowing feeling
because it moves along attached to the
ceiling so there's nothing on the ground
you can turn around and look over your
own shoulder you can 360 all the way
around so you get a spacey feeling
a film shoot is very often a lot about
technology but i always feel like it's
nice if you hide that but it's still
there like it shouldn't feel like it's
about the technology but technology
helps you do things you didn't think you
could see or you didn't think you could
do it can
slide over into being too
cold and mechanical but if you merge it
with something else
the way i see film is often yeah it's a
hybrid of technology and emotions and
artistic visions in a way that's what
workshop and robin also do they merge
something real with something computer
generated
there's a real
feeling and a real
emotion somewhere
not hidden very evident but still
there's a base for it and then they use
technology and computers to create
landscapes and images that are maybe
more extravagant than you could without
the use of computers and i think it's a
way of trying to get that feeling in the
visuals as well
