Behind the Scenes Photography “feb14th’²⁵”
Creating a visual companion to Fiona Apple’s song “Valentine” had been in Norby’s @cino2k head for over a year. The past few months brought that desire to fruition with the February logo video. Finding a singular idea to go along with the 3:32 tune proved to be more difficult than anticipated. Concepts ranged from a pickup truck driven by ballerinas and clowns to an old man being pushed through the city in a hospital bed, yet nothing felt quite right. Time constraints demanded a logistically smaller production. Norby recommended listening to the song and eliminating any preconceived notions. This approach ultimately determined the visuals would be expressing themes of despair. A depressed lily would be the primary motif. Alejandro @cannedd67 brought up the use of diegetic music driving the short narrative, complementing Anthony’s @anthonytedle suggestion of the main character wearing headphones throughout. “All About Lily Chou-Chou” and the 2006 film “Stay” were tonal and visual references.
At Alejandro’s recommendation, Elissa Mendoza was brought on as the main character shortly before filming began. Norby and Elissa discussed aspects of the character, using several personal experiences as emotional reference. “I thought of myself as the flower. I’m being cut.” Elissa found a definition of despair to be “having no relationship with God,” which proved to be helpful in portraying the character.
Shooting took place from 2/9-2/12 over 6 locations, using a Sony a7iii, a7siii, and a probe lens for the flower interior shots at the beginning. Editing taking place throughout. A concept video was created using shot deck early on, which helped expedite the post-production process. Exporting was much shorter on this video compared to the other logo videos. The logo was created in after effects following one of the lilies dying. Norby, Anthony, and Alejandro seem to enjoy the video the more they have watched it. Ideally, this serves as the predecessor to a larger vision with this song in the future.
