Behind the scenes: Forever Running video, Benjamin Bates | Oct 15th
Well, here’s one way to spend thousands of dollars… (actual video coming soon)
I have been working with Benjamin Bates on every visual aspect of his new album Recyclomania, from the CD cover to this new video for his single “Forever Running.” It seems that our projects started out simple, and just get slightly more ridiculous and complicated each time. I consider my first ever photoshoot with Benjamin quite innocent- it was done with all natural light and reflectors in Amsterdam… Simple. Then we stepped it up the “Two Flies” video we shot in an abandoned military hospital in Belgium, smeared Benjamin with paint and filmed the entire thing in fast motion… Difficult. Then finally we come to this last project- “Well how about a tiger running through the desert chasing a girl”… What?
Of course you can believe we have become excellent friends in the process of all these things.
I am so happy about how the video turned out, and it is being processed for rotation on television right now. When everything is ready to go, I’ll make another post with the video. Until then, check out this behind the scenes video. We couldn’t have done it without a long list of people, but one of the most notable my good friend Haakon. (the cinematographer for the music video.)
