Big shoutout to
@martijnmelis who got on a plane to Prague to lens the video for us so beautifully, and became a real guiding light in making this idea what it has become on screen.
We also absolutely need to thank
@matej_kos and his team for leading the production design and joining us on the second adventure, having worked with us on Push. He and
@michal0jaluvka spent countless hours researching how to make the black liquid safe, how to make it look great, how to make it actually wash off, and finding brilliant solutions to all the other mad ideas we threw at them. Absolute legends.
Then there is
@petraptackova , who was actually the inspiration behind the sword fight and gave us her incredible fashion designs, of which we are both huge fans, to style both actors, then watched us destroy her one sample in a fight. Along with
@kuku.laboratory , who lent us her beautiful, fluid form jewellery.
And a big final thank you to our partner in crime and brother
@palmeerek of
@closer.video films, who was brave enough to take on this enormous challenge with us, single handedly producing and holding everything together with his calm energy, all while welcoming his firstborn daughter into the world. The man is unstoppable.
And to the production companies that believed in us enough to make it possible:
@futurefrank.xyz ,
@la_pac and
@roguefilms , headed by
@flyingjed ,
@curlykatetaylor ,
@howland.james and
@_miguel_ .
And a special mention to two of our biggest fans who showed up on set in the last pic.
