Like nudity? Like candyfloss? Then you'll love this new video for Lolly Jane Blue track White Swan, directed by Sil van der Woerd.

 

The atmospheric film was shot in a disused coal mine in Beringen, Belgium, and, according to the press blurb, "tells the story of an exhausted, shivering girl who is captured in a dark machinery world where she dreams of being taken away under the wings of white swan". It is the second collaboration between Blue and Van der Woerd - the first was the music video Worms.

 

On shooting the film, Van der Woerd (who has just signed to Annex Films in London for UK representation), comments: "Shooting a video backwards, in the middle of the night, with a naked girl on a stone-cold floor in ice-cold rain was.... challenging to say the least." And the candyfloss in the film is all real too - it was made fresh during the shoot.

A beautiful video for a mediocre song. The atmosphere really does it. Too sad the intro in 3D (i guess) until the first dolly shot at 1:00 is there. It's not needed at all and looks too artificial..

But, job extremely well done, nevertheless.

Thank you for such a piece.

I was expecting Janet Jackson to pop up in that early 90's industrial setting and sing Rhythm Nation. Gimme a beat!
