︎Producer
︎ Assistant Director
Client: Nilo Blues
A few months after first working with Nilo on “i can’t, i won’t” he came back to us to continue the chemistry and creative dynamic we had built to imagine something new for his song “Poison”. The only difference was Nilo was now an independent artist, which meant an even tighter budget. We knew we had to get scrappy and think outside the box, which led us to shooting inside an empty warehouse and a locally-owned rug factory. Working with a small team we maximise the tools we had on hand and that was our location that we were able to secure. By using the SnorriCam we were able to blend the locations together by blending them with the swinging transitions. When Nathan came to me with the idea of showing a normal vs dark vice my mind started to imagine particular shots right away. This included the lollipop vs. Cigarette symbolism used to depict the oral fixations you have as a child compared to the vices you use as an adult.
