Midnight Davis 'In The Mood For Love' by Richard Hunter

Ella Morter - 14th Oct 2013

The ethereal soundscape of Midnight Davis's In The Mood For Love gets a hypnotic, and richly-photographed treatment by Richard Hunter - Tarantino meets David Lynch as following a bravura 90-second opening tracking shot, a girl dances in front of a man in a rubber mask, tied to a chair. And then things start to get a bit psychedelic...   

Richard Hunter: "With almost a zero budget I was able to make a video with some reasonably high production values. This success was due to the help of the amazing crew and the brilliant Bart Sienkiewicz who worked perfectly with [steadicam operator] Matteo Cosorich to get the opening shot in a handful of takes in the space of fifteen minutes. 

"It was tense due to the fact we needed to get our dancer, Carli Trigg, on a train within 10 minutes. But we did get the shot and we got Carli on the train home to Manchester. What a happy ending.

"Midnight's Music is pretty atmospheric and I instantly wanted to collaborate with him, as I am dying to homage/rip off David Lynch, any chance I get. With Midnight's music it seemed like the perfect opportunity. Next time I'll put some owls and some logs in there."
