‘Crashing’ is Illenium’s first live action music video. The story follows the tragic collision of two souls, told through intense staccato visuals and a fiery burned orange colour palette.
A dizzying array of specialist teams pulled off the impossible and managed to fit car crashes, pyrotechnics, drone-lights, high-speed pursuits and wire work into single long winter night on a Kiev forest road.
Sorry (not sorry) for the mass destruction as Halsey walks away from a car crash in a one-taker that looks like an epilogue to her Hopeless Fountain Kingdom video series.
Some days, you gotta dance. And that's what Emma Farnell-Watson does — she's a London Contemporary Dance School trainee — in what could double as a pretty energetic demo reel.
There's hints of a Mrs. Robinson — or maybe a Mr. Robsinson — vibe in this prepschool epic about potentially dangerous crushes.
Don't worry if you don't entirely follow it, even if it's pretty clear what's developing here (pun intended): The starmaking turn by Halsey has a way of attracting all of your attention.
