Artist: GramatiknDirected and Produced by Leo Marthaler & Alban DelachenalnnnThis video came out of the twisted minds of Swiss video directors Leo Marthaler and Alban Delachenal.nnWe have been long time fans of Gramatik and every time we listen to his tracks, a debauchery of images just come in our mind. Some pretty sick ones we must admit…nnOne night, after (too) many beers we wrote Gramatik on Twitter telling him just that:n"We are making a badass music video for you, hope you gonna like it, cheers L&A." nnHe replied within an hour something along "Cool, use my new logo tho". nThat's how it all started.nnIt took us 6 months of work, we spent all our hard earned cash in it, put together a crew of 12 amazing people and shot with the best possible camera gear. Torture, ladies and gentlemen.nnIt was a pretty rock'n'roll shoot, 3 days of proper guerilla filmmaking. We had to use secret ninja technics not to get caught by the police because we shot in UNESCO protected sites, blocked without permit very highly frequented roads, shot on top of Switzerland's biggest and most protected water dam and as usual, no time to get authorizations… nnAll you see in this video has a bit of a f*cked up story. For instance, during the old-people-dancing-scene, Léo had to dance half naked with the extras, to warm them up and show what kind of crazy dancing we were looking for. After 30 seconds, he was busting a weird-crawling dance move on the ground and the oldest extra (76 yo) didn't see him. One second later she felt hard on the ground, head first. Bad moment, she was evacuated to the hospital but luckily nothing serious ! That was intense.nnAlso, did you notice that it was real vodka in the props ? The extras didn't know it and you can clearly see it on their faces shot at 240 frames per second…nnWhen the first version of the video was rendered, we wrote an email to Gramatik's management: Gramatik was performing the same night in our city in Switzerland. Jeez! We needed to see him !nnThe manager responded immediately and invited us in the backstage to share some beers with Gramatik and his crew (awesome people BTW). They digged the video and were glad to use it as their official music video! Here we go.nnOf course it was a big gamble but at least we have done something instead of dreaming up to shoot a music video for him …nn---------------nnIn a near future, Gramatik (73 years old) and his stuffed-cat are locked up in a nursing home. One morning, after playing very loudly with his MPC, the Evil Superior Nurse tries to unplug his soundsystem. Big mistake, considering the homemade electric taser he is holding.nnGramatik then starts an incredible journey, riding his over pimped scooter around the country and taking people out of boredom. Little did he know that the nurse was a very vindictive, over-trained sword fighter...nnhttp://www.leomarthaler.tvnhttp://www.albandelachenal.comnn--------------nnDirected and Produced by Leo Marthaler & Alban DelachenalnDirector of Photography: Ludovic MattheynAssistant Camera: Gregory TerlikowskinAssistant Director: Nathalie IshaknArt Director: Jan PaepkenEditor: Leo Marthaler & Alban DelachenalnVFX: Jonas Ginter, Captain 3D, Leo MarthalernColor grading: Gregory TerlikowskinnKey Grip: Sophie PoncainGaffer: Mathieu WerlennDrone Operators: Benjamin Bertigny & Richard Poinsard (http://www.birdview-creation.ch/ )nProps: Flavie MarthalernnOn Set Assistants:nChris LevannChristian MasullonVincent RoditinShibahu MidorinonnAssociate Producer: Agence 4 valléesnAssociate Producer: Patrick LocationnMakeup: Nathalie IshaknStoryboard: Nibe MatissennCast:nJacques MoosernDiane-LaurennExtras:nAnne ThorensnLemanic Coast Chapter crewnEric VermetnIsabelle VoletnJanny SnatersenJH FourniernJackie HaefligernJean Pierre RoulinnIsabelle VoletnnSpecial Thanks:nDenis JašarevićnMorgan YoungnBlake NicholsnAnže KoronnImagina StudionStaff de la Grande DixencennFelix HelfernBasil ManentnAntoine SchirernAtelier Roue LibrenLudovic FavrennStaff hopital de MartignynVincent CastagnanHopital de SierrenSnake Bar ValaisnG60 LausannenLa Ville de SionnnSwitzerland, February 2015nn----------nFREE DOWNLOAD: http://www.gramatik.net/discographynnFollow Gramatik:nhttp://www.gramatik.netnhttps://www.facebook.com/gramatiknhttps://twitter.com/Gramatiknhttps://soundcloud.com/gramatiknhttp://instagram.com/gramatik_lowtempnnSpotify: http://tinyurl.com/nbx9ke9nDeezer: http://tinyurl.com/n6k9d5annBeatport: http://tinyurl.com/qjbbchmniTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kmdt5m7nGoogle Play: http://tinyurl.com/q4pqydnnnFollow Lowtemp:nhttp://lowtempmusic.com/nhttps://www.facebook.com/lowtempnhttps://soundcloud.com/lowtemp-musicnhttps://twitter.com/LowtempMusic Less
