German electronic musician Christian Löffler and filmmaking company On A Whim Films announce the release of the music video for Ballet (Ki Records). Shot by director Asya Nikolaeva and cinematographer Pavel Yatsenko in San Francisco during the lockdown.
On A Whim Films took the liberty and used empty cinematic landscapes of an abandoned San Francisco to create the music video. A production team of 12 people operated during the complete lockdown while everyone in the city sheltered in place.
Much of this ambient atmosphere had to do with the actors, professional ballet dancers, who brilliantly convey the song’s aura. The artistic spirit is felt from the colour pallet of each frame, the placement and angle of each shot, and the abstract symbolism.
