HQ version of 'Glömd' on YouTube

Post by sound world »

For those of you who don't know,Stina directed this video of Koop's 'Glömd'. It's a great video,I think.
The song itself has vocal by Cecilia Stalin (now there's a name!), and some of you might recognise the flute sample as the opening of Debussy's 'Prelude à l'aprés-midi d'un faune'-not at all irrelevant to the feel of the video.

Either the music had inspired her or Stina had been watching too many episodes of the X-Files. :mrgreen:

The distorted,out of focus figures amongst the trees and against the skyline were effective and memorable.

I think she might have got that from her famous predecessor Ingmar Bergman,in this classic shot from the closing scene of 'The Seventh Seal' :-

One of the most famous shots in cinema.Plus the Swedish connection,I can't believe Stina wasn't influenced a little by it.
