Tired Eyes Kingdom
Music video production and cover artwork.
I was asked to produce a music video for the band Tired Eyes Kingdom and their song »Will«. My responsibilities ranged from the video editing to the color grading and special effects. The animal installation was built by Christoph Schnedler & Holly Martin Bates. For the album »Burn the castle» I also produced an album cover for a vinyl production and digital release. The link to the album title and the message of the song was important in the development of both media. I photographed a straw duck, which stands for vulnerability, but also for determination. The cover should appear dirty, not glossed over, surrendering to fate.
The cover leaves open questions such as: How did she get here? She leaves something from the past behind and moves on. The bright pink-red looks aggressive, but at the same time the creature appears delicate, cute and modest – for example through the pink horn. The focus is entirely on the object, so nothing else is depicted apart from it. The position is a continuation of the album cover of the first record »Tired Eyes Kingdom«, on which a snail is depicted. The second album is now one step further. Something has come loose, you have developed further.
