A delightful mix of modern self-indulgence and 1960s nostalgia by director Vasilis Katsoupis (aka dipyadeep) from Athens, Greece. Framed in a vortex-like round format, Katsoupis combines footage (Ursa mini Pro, High8 video, Digital Harinezumi), faces, textures and emotions to create an “off-key reality” that gradually sucks you in.

A deep dive into Yellow Days’s subconscious by London-based director Jamie Whitby (previously featured here). The video’s main effect was created using a robotic arm and multiple passes over the same stage, which required redressing every time. As Whitby explains:

“Our production designer Jabez built 10 sets in a single day for this one, interchanging the ceiling and back wall to shake up our lighting options. We shot the transitions between rooms practically too, sideways on a camera mounted 90 degrees on a dolly to save paying for a jib, before comping them in in post.”
