Heartgaze + Cece Maravilla – Florida
Let's start today's article with a video of vibrant colors, a cheerful sky, skateboards, some grass, and lots of movement. A clip by an Argentinian, with the collaboration of an artist residing in Chicago, made in a suburban Chilean landscape. And this richness in nuance is how the development of this audiovisual product remains throughout its entirety, combining different photographic techniques and objects, along with superimposed animations that keep the viewer's attention focused on the explosive tonality, perfectly in keeping with the evolution and neo-punk sound of the song. This is fresh, fun, and well done.
Electric Mistakes – 4-4-2
Let's leave the initial joy behind and delve into a sadness captured in a single shot of gray textures that lasts three minutes and almost forty seconds, where the tune of this Bogota duo serves as the soundtrack to an unfortunate end to the day, a woman undressing in front of the bathroom mirror with the bitter weight of everything she experienced during the day. Without cuts, and with only very brief and slight blurring, everything unfolds in the same shot, thus preserving the power of the narrative and the impact of a sorrowful, moving, splendid recording. Everything is there, nothing is missing.
Atalhos – Mesmo Coração (The Holydrug Couple Remix)
Now it's time for a festival of exciting, chaotic, and daring colors, Positions and sums together so that the audience connects with the experimentation and solid sound of a Brazilian band, on the rise these days. Here's a clip that visually accompanies the remix of this track by the Chilean band The Holydrug Couple, adding even more psychedelic flavor to the intense original soundscape. It's an edit that seems carefree, but in a serious way, it aims to stimulate the viewer's eye, hoping to draw them into the alternative reality this piece proposes.
The Colored – Misery
Finally, a video made for strong stomachs and open minds. A work that, if it's confirmed it was made precisely during these times, will horrify us and make us calculate the number of violations of pandemic health regulations. Madam, please keep your innocent children away from these images, full of moral corruption, debauchery, and morbidity, and, while you're at it, pick up the phone to alert the authorities to prevent the spread and distribution of this material. Seriously though, this is a work made with the knowledge that it will offend many. And, let's not be naive, he expects that to happen; scandal is his goal. That said, it's a well-done job, effectively edited, always managing to give greater impact to the song being promoted, an underground gem that we might suspect was conceived and designed to stimulate heretical people and scare the most pious sheep.
