Student Project, 2024

I created a music video for "In Shadow" by Supertask and ESCPE, a track characterized by its downtempo experimental bass and contemplative, melancholic vocals. The song’s introspective and somber tone inspired me to craft visuals that would evoke a deep sense of nostalgia and emotional complexity. I aimed to create a visual journey that mirrors the introspective nature of the music, drawing viewers into a world of past memories and surreal imagery.

To achieve this, I filmed and manipulated scenes that represented old memories, focusing on moments of romance and conflict with a partner. These vignettes of intimate and turbulent times were then overlayed with psychedelic visuals to enhance the dreamlike quality of the narrative. I used techniques such as dropping ink into water and recording the movement of smoke and liquid to create fluid, ethereal effects. These visuals not only complemented the contemplative lyrics but also added a layer of abstract beauty, inviting viewers to interpret the emotional undertones of the song in their own way. The resulting video is a haunting yet mesmerizing experience, reflecting the intricate blend of sorrow and beauty found in the music.
