Out now: The music video for ‘Paralyzed’, the latest single by German EDM duo TC/TC, also known as @twocolors . I was immediately hooked when they sent me the demo, but the budget was modest. There is great power in acknowledging the limitations, focussing on the essential and maxing out the resources. So I decided to ‘keep it in-house’ and do it all myself: Production, directing, camera, post. Felt like a full on throwback to the observational documentary filmmaking days of old. Working like this is only possible with my man @sikelela_qhashane holding it together. Shot on Sony FX30 and Laowa Nanomorph lenses from @zootee_studios . Cast: Jona Losper, Jose Du Plooy, Joshua Du Plooy Dancers: @stoan_move_galela , Simamakele Makaleni, Zindanı Mithi Choreography: @stoan_move_galela Styling Dancers: @themetastylist BTS stills: @Andreas_jan_nowak Langa Fixer: Sisa Nobanda Hangberg Fixer: @ziyaad_skate_school_ Set Security: Ricardo Benjamin, Charles Cloete Production company: @butterflyfilmscapetown @mutterundvaterproductions All round tech assistant: @sikelela_qhashane
