The concept of this video was to create a visualiser for the band's new album. Normally this would be in the form of a looping animation, or in most cases just the album cover photo.
The director came up with a concept that would have a beginning and end but still allow listeners to be able to concentrate mainly on the music, and have freedom to be distracted from the video while listening to the album, but each time they come back to the video new actions that are taking place are being revealed.
The band, husband and wife, Luke and Ellie Pritchard, are portrayed in the foreground, and throughout the video they stay in that area and rarely acknowledge what is going on behind them in the studio built restaurant. Again keeping concentration on them and their music. This video is about DUO, their music and their love.
Around them we get little scenes between the extras that are also attending the restaurant, and new stories and images are revealed as the video progresses. A chef chases an escaped chicken from the kitchen, an angry wife confronts her husband who is spending time with a younger mistress, and at one point a robber escaping a failed heist is chased into the restaurant by a police officer.
The whole video was shot in 7 minutes at 120FPS, so it was essential that every action was prepared, timed, and rehearsed accordingly.
We were able to get 3 clean takes, and this was the last one.
Thank you to all the talented people, both on and off camera, who put in a lot of hard work to make this possible. And thank you to DUO for having faith in us to create this very ambitious idea.
