Wretch 32 "Blackout" (James Barber, dir.)

Wretch 32 ft Shakka - 'Blackout' (Official Video) (Out 12.05.13)

James Barber continues his relationship with rapper Wretch 32 in directing this visually stunning video for the brand new track from his latest album. The new video for 'Blackout' is a heavily art directed piece creating a  stylised, textural, mesmeric and dreamy set.  James followed an almost meteorological theme, creating a sun setup (influenced by Olafur Eliasson’s weather project from the Tate Modern)  as well as a  colder more dramatic lightning setup and a rain setup too. It is a heady mix of beautiful cinematography along with Taiko drumming, a custom built 'Dan Trung' xylophone, street dancing and even a spot of rain.
