GUM – GEMINI
2016-12-05Tame Impala’s Jay Watson released a new GUM album called Flash in the Pan. Now, he’s dropped a video for the record’s “Gemini.”
Some words from director Sam Kristofski:
The clip was roughly styled around old children’s fantasy shows, like The Never Ending Story. I love the idea of people blaming their behavior on their star sign too, so I think that was the whole section around someone crying, and in deep thought then cutting to the symbol. Also Jay fighting his star sign was based around that whole Gemini double personality thing, in combat with your other half, I just did the 80’s Karate Kid thing as it mixed in with the theme and tone of the clip.
We shot the whole thing in LA on left over 35mm and 16mm film stock from CSI Las Vegas, which was a risk as the film was so old
