RM12.2 by Sailor Mood. Bipolar Bear video 2




So after making the video for Phiorio's Famous Wick Python, soon to be released on the german label My Best Friend, I got asked to do more vids for Metroline and little sister label Retrometro. Here's the resulting works that accompany the latest Retrometro release, RM12.2 by Italian duo Sailor Mood.

Inspiration for this video came from a shoot I did a while ago involving a miniature tea set, pink princess dress, that rainbow wind-thing and a panda rubber mask. I also used the pictures for the records artwork. Besides that, Lynch stuff (Twin Peaks, Inland Empire...), and several memories of highs for the in and out effect (close your eyes, see something, open eyes, decor's changed,etc) so it's all mainly about consciousness flickering between dream and reality (a questionable reality) Oh, and thanks to my cat Chew-chew for starring (although I'm not sure he's actually aware of it, and that would be an interesting thems to explore later, animal consciousness).
All the indoor sequences were shot in Hackney Wick's Plumkin Pie Studio except cat shots, outdoors are set in Normandy seaside town Granville and surroundings.
