The songwriter and singer from Sicily has been capable of putting in this song, like he has done in the entire album, the feelings of a disillusioned generation that is continuously struggling for dreams, trying to find a new vision for the future.

In this video there are a lot of objects that can call the mind back to a past made of dreams that are no longer possible, flying around in a fake spaceship, the one we are waiting for or perhaps we are hoping can arrive here.

A fake spaceship flying in an universe, where the most powerful energy comes from love that continues to give us life.

A wonderful video, directed by Giacomo Triglia, a very imaginative and talented director.

Have a good time watchin it, and follow your dreams!

As we could define it? Weird, absolutely weird! But incredibly stylish!
It mix different style of filming. At first it simulate a kind of surveillance camera. In thoese thriller scenes, Ola is tormented with a heart cut out with scissor. The scenes repeats and the colour is the noisy gray/black/with of the “survellance camera”.

Suddenly it tourn into something opposte. Using a green screen, Ola could fly over the roads, wearing patchwork dresses.
Everything is colorfull, is not a real world but it seems something about Ola distort perception, as the speaking dog!

The end of the video is also something really unusual, but at least, is Ola’s videoclip!

One of the most important part of the video is, of course, the setting!

Asking to Iggy’s stylist, Alejandra Hernandez, about the decision to film this videoclip in India, she said “The directors submitted the Bollywood-themed treatment, and when Iggy saw it she was like – YUP, this one’s it! And we’re not shooting in LA and faking Bollywood. Let’s get on a plane, and shoot it in India. And I want to ride an elephant.- ”

“Shooting ‘Bounce’ in India was surreal,” Iggy told Rap-Up TV. “It’s just so crazy to dream something so big and actually see it happen.”

So you could see Iggy dane in street during the indian festival of Pagwa and, as she wanted, riding an elephant! “It took us a month to find it and we got it, and it was such a shit fight,” says the 22-year-old, who had to get the Indian mafia to shut down the street. “We just took this elephant and thugged it down the street, and it was insane.”

Dresses have, as setting, one important role!

“I did so much research and really became obsessed” said Alejandra “I really like the Bollywood disco era, and was very inspired by Parveen Babi in her films. She was such an Indian bombshell. The costumes in the ’60s and ’70s were so next level. For the video, we wanted to be traditional and respectful to the culture, so the gold body suit was the closest I could get to my ’70s Bollywood dream. The saris came from both the states and India. Iggy loves color and prints, so definitely wanted saris that were bold. Wrapping and draping saris was a lot more complicated than I expected, but luckily I had a local assistant that knew what she was doing. I was a disaster. I got all jewelry in India. I knew that I would find the coolest jewelry there. I didn’t even waste my time looking in the states.”

Iggy adds “I think record labels need to reinvest in doing stuff like that, it helps create the fantasy and the bigness of an artist. This video definitely perpetuates escapism.”

I invite you to take a look on their fb page, where they explain by themselves which is their own story and vision of music, but here a little anticipation: they’re latest album  is “the meeting point between his jazz roots and the groovy years of electronic dance music. Jazz improvisation is the process of spontaneously creating fresh melodies over the continuously repeating cycle of chord changes of a tune“.

The videoclip that we present you today really found the point of contact with the song that presents.
The song Le Mystère has a self-explained title and the videoclip, of course, leaves the viewer with a question mark in his/her head: what is this? what does it mean? why?
I personally truly believe that when a video is able to leave a question, it means that has a power. Power to communicate something.
I don’t want to write here my own impression about it, so I’ll copy here what the director Raoul Paulet says: “Through a journey of self-discovery a woman explores the meaning of life. Choices, fears, intentions, mistakes. Her feelings are brought to life and populate her imagination. To distinguish what is real from what is not, she has to observe and listen carefully. This is the only way to not get lost. Objects that move and change shape. A magical table that gives her shelter. Dark shadows that reflect thoughts and movements. In this journey she learns how to communicate and play with these elements, so that she can finally feel confident enough to open her eyes wide and make her own destiny“.
The whole videoclip was shot in motion picture in a studio (black background), but a huge amount of postproduction helps to make it more unusual and interesting. Flying objects, 2D animation and a nice game between colors, lights and shapes were makes this videoclip something really similar to a video-art creation.
If you are interested in the making of you can take a look to the backstage photos.

here’s the making of this video: it’s definitely worth a look:
 

Directed by Ohji, about whom I was just able to find his Vimeo profile, this work is for the trio Keys N Krates, based in Toronto, which is making (I would say) a sort of hip hop. The three musicians released this track in their last EP Solow, for the label Dim Mak Records.

Ohji worked here on a strange concept: he took book covers, such as romance novels, and he animated them: they all are pairs of lovers moving a little bit. Probably those images have beed cut and divided on multiple layers, and later animated as digital puppets. I think that’s really interesting and it gives the video this vintage atmosphere that is impossible to not appreciate, although it could appear a little repetitive, ’cause nothing is really happening and the animation sequences are always pretty similar.

It’s still a great work and we’re looking forward for Ohji to update his profile and make we know more about him and about his videos, hoping then now ones are coming soon!
