Description

Our new music video for GOO GOO DOLLS. The four-time Grammy-nominated rock band have debuted their brand new single, a powerful ballad about rebirth, transformation and empowerment. "RUN ALL NIGHT is about escaping from your circumstances and finding hope in the wild unknown of the night,” describes Goo Goo Dolls frontman John Rzeznik.
As a general visual concept we envisioned a body fragmented into parts that are moving but they can’t advance because they are isolated, they need to be connected in order to properly function and as the music grows the parts come together to create a character who can now run freely with the energy of the music. We used a range of collage techniques with powerful and poetic visual metaphors, taking the public on an emotional and hypnotic mixed-media journey.

Description

“Deal with it”, the mantra which is repeated hypnotically in the INURE vocals inspired us to create a rhythmical lip-sync-collage music video for the Barcelona’s synth trio AGOST.
A handcrafted piece, entirely made of paper cut-outs and live action footage processed as paper sequences where electronic circuits, minerals, mammals, birds, geometric shapes and the members of the band "break" and mutate on crumpled paper.
