Another beautiful video for Vagabon by Los Angeles-based writer-director Maegan Houang (previously featured here). Building on the idea of being trapped indoors by bad weather, “In a Bind” creates a timeless world that one would want to both inhabit and rebel against. As Houang explains further: “We used rear screen projection and practical special effects to create a series of obstacles for her to continuously overcome.”
