RADAR CULT – CHEMICAL FIRE
2015-04-20Spanish director and visual artist Mau Morgo, creates a video for LA-based electronic duo Radar Cult’s “Chemical Fire”
Taking the title, Mau, filmed chemical reactions in a fusion of high and low-tech ways. The band also contributed video of themselves over the Internet, which Mau later incorporated into the final product.
“When I started working on this music video I decided to work putting myself limitations. Using this frontiers as a creative process, I decided to record all this piece with my broken Iphone 4,” said Mau, who also filmed himself shooting the chemical reactions in a making-of video (watch below). “Under a low budget I built a $17 microscope for my Iphone, using a cheap laser lens to magnify chemical reactions produced by effervescent meds. Images have been edited with after effects”
