Transcript excerpt

This is Art Direction. Burgine, one of the most exclusive clubs in the world and also Brasilia's latest single and music video. A perfect example of one of the most universal creative principles: contrast. Contrast is about bringing clearly disparate subjects together. Whether it's production design, color, photography, cinematography in this case we watch as her anxiety is personified by an orchestra, crammed into scenes where they don't belong yes also lit naturally like it's meant to be, high art shoved into the mundane, that's contrast. More literal contrast would emphasize this with color or stark lighting but contrast can be more abstract. The scene, the subjects themselves create tension when contradictions are forced to live better. Masterfully done by the team at Canada. Yes, a production company based in Barcelona. I actually worked with them on one of my first Tier commercials. Director Nicholas Mendez no founded Canada. I'm assuming most of these visual concepts can be attributed to the combined talent of production designer Andy Kelly, director of photography Max Better the director and of course Rosalia herself. What are your thoughts on this?
