THROUGH THE USE OF CLEVER SET CONSTRUCTION, WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP COSTS LOW AND CONCEPTUAL INTEGRITY HIGH ON THIS THOUGHT-PROVOKING MUSIC VIDEO.

ROGUE - META
DYNAMIC LIGHTING WAS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ASPECT AND INTENTIONAL MOTIVATOR IN THE STORY FOR THIS VIDEO. I USED IT TO COMMUNICATE THE PASSING OF ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE, THE ARRIVAL OF AN ETHERIAL BEING, AS WELL AS AN INDICATOR FOR PANIC AND AGONY.
ROGUE CAME WITH A CLEAR VISION FOR THIS VIDEO THAT INCORPORATED PURPLE GEMSTONES EMBEDDED IN A CAVERN WALL. FROM THERE, IT WAS MY CREATIVE CHOICE TO EMBRACE PINK/PURPLE TONES IN THE HIGHLIGHTS AND AN APPEALING SHADE OF GREEN IN THE SHADOWS TO ROUND OFF THE LOOK.
WE USED RELATIVELY CHEAP MATERIALS AND A WELL-CONSTRUCTED SHOOTING PLAN TO FILM THE ENTIRE STORY IN ONE NIGHT WITHIN A SMALL SPACE WITH ONLY THREE ‘CAVE’ WALLS. THE SHOTS OF THE BAND WERE FILMED IN THE SAME ROOM WITH TIN FOIL AND CLEAR PLASTIC SHEETS TO CREATE AN ETHERIAL SCENE.
