From the Judges
From the Judges
The editing sets a crisp, energetic pace, cutting between the band's black-and-white performance and a story that plays out in full colour so the two run side by side. Confident direction and sharp shot choices carry that energy throughout, with the band fully committed to the piece and a young performer who sells her scenes with real conviction. Altogether it is a music video with a clear point of view and a genuine sense of craft.
