Lady Jane Beach
Intro
Metropolis Burden delves deep into the unforgiving verities of urban existence, unravelling a tapestry that draws inspiration from Aldous Huxley's seminal work, Brave New World, while expounding upon the pervasive existential anxieties that accompany the dreary and repetitive cycles of daily life and Labor. In the labyrinthine cityscape of London, denizens often find themselves resembling subjects within a grand experiment, confined like lab rats in a simulated reality. In the production of the "Metropolis Burden" music video, my role encompassed directing, editing, composing, backplate creation, and project management. Given my longstanding passion for music, translating visuals to what I would argue is my best musical composition to date proved to be a gratifying journey. Special thanks to the talented team involved: Oliver Hupfau for direction, Marc Jarvin for assistant direction, Campbell Orme for 3D, Oliver Ellmers for volumetric capture, Angus Fredericksen for film and drone work, Lady Jane Beach for the music, Marc Jarvin for acting, and Laurens Von Oswald for additional production. The mastering magic was handled by Klaas Black at Head Studios.
