Video for Vancouver-born, Los Angeles-based artist Colyn Cameron’s solo debut. Shot in 48 hours on 16mm, “Loss For Words” sees Cameron and his friends gathering and eating fruit as they search for haunted places in the California and Arizona Desert. As he shared with us:

“I wanted a video that felt nostalgic and sad, yet vibrant and odd. The song is mine, and I collaborated with friends, director Robert Rice, DP Ellington Tynes, and friend Lingxi to go as deep into the desert with my blue volvo as would be allowed.”

Starring: Yuan Lingxi and Colyn Cameron

Video for Travis Scott’s track “Stop Trying To Be God” by director Dave Meyers (previously featured here).

A haunting yet beautiful video for indie five-piece No Kind of Rider by New York City-based director Parker Hill. Tapping into the song’s sense of loss and renewal, “Autumn” is a reflection of the time just before a person begins to let themselves grieve. As Hill further states:

“It was a dream to shoot with No Kind of Rider in their home city of Portland, OR because I knew the vast and almost eerie pacific northwest setting would help communicate much of the story we wanted to tell. We crafted the video to be about Sam’s (lead singer) journey of saying goodbye to a loved one as he returns to a familiar place, alone for the first time.”

Video for Saintseneca’s track “Ladder to the Sun” off their forthcoming album Pillar of Na. Directed by Jon Washington and the band’s own Zac Little. Cinematography by Andrew Boylan.

A visual ode to the timelessness and isolation of the city for Vancouver band Blue J by Vancouver-based director Lester Lyons-Hookham and cinematographer Jeremy Cox. Mirroring the track’s lyrical observations of loss and refection, “Both Your Hands” features a lone figure enveloped by his surroundings yet simultaneously disconnected from them. The film was shot on super 16mm using a zoom lens and three-axis motion control head (the kind usually mounted underneath a helicopter for aerial shots). While initially wanting to limit contemporary references and architectural inconsistencies, working with and around the increasing changes to the city became an integral part of the process, as Lester shared with us:

“We found it hard to frame out new developments or signs of gentrification. Eventually (and ironically) the process relied heavily on new high-rise architecture to give us the height, distance and space to look down on the city and our character. The persistent change of the urban landscape was an unintended but happy metaphor for the bittersweet evolution of a personal relationship as told in song.”

Check out “Both Your Hands” above as well as some behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot below!
