Spirit Vine's "Cold Living" Music Video -Reader Response


Spirit Vine's "Cold Living" Music Video

This video was shot all by a Cannon 24-105L lens and a 1K light. It was shot by the Director of Photography Amberlie Bankoff and  directed by Mike Cuenca. The video has hit the spot light in last few weeks and will be screening at Other Venice Film Festival in October.

The video first starts off with a dark mood and we see the band surrounded by moving vines. The singer is also filmed in quite an interesting way in the beginning of the video as well. We see several images of her in the same place, but slowed down. 
  
Later we see the band members at a party where they go under some weird series of events. The video is then has more vivid colors that are very contrasted with several harsh shadows but it sticks to a dark mood being set. The band members are found out a party where they are faced with conflicts such as a fight with some else at the party.

One of my favorite scenes in the video is when the party is gathered around candle lights.In this shot the candles are visually easy to see while the band members clothing blends in the background darkness.We are able to focus on their face and actions of their hand. This shot is set up well and the candles bring out appeal to this shot.

  1. Cool post. The lighting in what looks like a Seance reminds me the old black and white photos I've seen... cool premise for a short:
