Champion Sound!

"And maybe one day we'll go to rehab
Or back to Argentina, it's not that far away
Any day now"

Crystal Fighters video shoot

Champion Sound

"Let's hope that someday I play my concertina
To an arena full of people
Or dream my life away
Dreaming of the day"

Jaleh had arranged for us to be extras on the new Crystal Fighters music video.

A phonecall, a day at the 'Farm office trying to measure our hips, heads, feet, butts, and what not with various creative methods...became into excited waiting for the next day to come:

One, two, three - action.

Considering that the alarm clock was ringing at 5am, we were surprisingly awake, energetic and ready for the long day. I can't remember when last I would have needed to wake up before 8.30 or 9.

We attended day 2 of the shoot.

Arriving at the venue early, we helped out with some loading in and settling before it was time for make-up, hair and dressing up.

First make-up was just a twist of lip balm, but throughout the day more and more was added.

The natural look changed to dramatic eyebrows, glitter and roughness.

The venue was an old building. Cold as Iceland, dirty as...dirty, but oh so atmospheric!

I was lucky enough to get to wear long jeans because I had brought my own. Others had to freeze in short skirts, dresses or shorts! Brrrr.

The whole group of extras all ready!

"When you find that love inside of me
Deep within the heart of me
Deep within my, deep within my
Deep within the heart of me"

A long day, a lot of waiting - as is normal for such a production.

We were taken care of ever so well.

Warm coats. Food. Drinks.

Production was made by Saloon Films and the video was directed by Ben Strebel and Lewis Kyle White.

Such a delightful crew working!

Professional, caring, co-operative. Everything went smoothly.

As you can see, we had a looot of time to play modeling school!

Our fabulous, gorgeous and handsome leads!

"I wanna find my girl, love will be amazing
Champion sound"

I guess we weren't quiite ready!

Tender moment.

Crystal Fighters are going to be doing a small tour in December that reaches at least the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. I do suggest to check out!

But why scribble more when I can actually just show you the final product?

Hereby, the today released (ok yesterday as it is past midnight) CHAMPION SOUND by Crystal Fighters.

ENJOY!!

Personally I think the vid looks amazing. The colors are super, the dreamy vibe and slow motion is calming and the shots..it just all works!

Everybody looks stunning. Especially Mimi with her eye make-up, which I totally fell in love with. Isn't that tree-branch thingy really cool (picture above)?!

And not forgetting that the song is preeetty perfecto, too.

A heart for the lyrics.

"...I wanna find my girl, love will be amazing..."

Let me know how you liked the video!

One experience richer. And one great experience it was.
