During the summer, after our first filming experiences for ‘Polemos’, we decided we want to release the Δystopian_Farmer tracks one by one if possible each with a video. We had the story for a second song called ‘Arid 2053’ and got ideas on how to film it. But in this case we would need more people than just the two of us. We talked to some friends and gradually gathered a team of Elias Filos, Mitsos Diveris, Lampros Pihas, Giorgos Giannoulas, Ilias Psallidas and Katerina Sfika. A location was found by Mitsos, and Lampros and Dimitra from the Joker Magic Bar agreed to bring their Van-Turned-Cocktail Bar for the shoot. After several complications regarding the weather and availability of people we finally got to shoot the main body of the video on Sept 2, Marifenia’s birthday. We had an incredible amount of fun, and even while our kids were around all day and would often run through the field of view of the camera, we managed to get everything shot in one day. After a quick rough cut of the scenes it became clear that it was hard to squeeze all the video footage within the duration of the song, but we found we could extend the song a bit at the end and create an atmospheric intro, both of which gives some more room to work with. The coming weekend we have planned to shoot the last footage and then it’s time to dive into DaVinci Resolve until the video is done, or the computer melts – Time will tell. While the release date has been pushed back several times, we are now aiming for release in January 2025.
