WET PAINT [MUSIC VIDEO]

Working with other creatives in the pandemic meant that we all had to be resourceful when it came to art. I'd made 'Wet Paint' with producer Finch Fetti that I really wanted visuals for, unfortunately we were seriously confined by lockdown rules and getting exciting, fresh footage was unfeasible. The solution? Work with a videographer to create a video that conveyed a particular ambience through archive footage. We wanted the visuals to match the cold, somewhat-ethereal soundscape of the track, but this meant being very selective about our editing processes and the footage that we used. We wanted to provoke questions and curiosity with a series of ambiguous shots, rather than lead with any familiar footage as the centre point. Creating a narrative from these images was less of a priority than presenting an atmosphere that was unique to the track - a moving moodboard of sorts.
