Anna, who held the trophies proudly, was reluctant to them go, while Etienne clung to the cherished whisky awarded to all winners. The Berlin Music Video Awards trophy resembles the city’s TV tower but with a twist, symbolizing the event’s celebration of unconventional thinking. Adorned with a playful radio antenna, it captures the hearts of winners.
Under the protective wing of a persona
Camille Razat, known for her roles in “Emily in Paris” and other notable works, produced the “Wynona” video, bringing her unique vision and experience to the project. Razat’s involvement ensured a high-quality production that stands out in the competitive music video landscape. The direction by Phantom, a renowned director with a keen eye for detail and storytelling, brought the video to life with flawless execution. Their collaboration resulted in a visually stunning and emotionally engaging video that perfectly complements Gennre’s powerful song.
In the past decade, certain music videos have been crucial in making songs widely known. Examples like Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” (2018) and Beyoncé’s “Formation” (2016) used powerful visuals to define and popularize their music. Without these captivating videos, these songs might have remained unknown, showing how important visuals are in today’s music culture.
The band deeply appreciates Camille Razat’s indispensable assistance and support in crafting their latest music video. They are acutely aware that without her involvement, gaining visibility would have been incredibly challenging. Camille’s creative vision and dedicated efforts have not only shaped the video but also facilitated the band’s ability to reach a wider audience. They extend heartfelt gratitude to Camille for her pivotal role in their journey, acknowledging that her collaboration has been crucial in their path towards success.
Anna’s Self-Love Complex: The Heart of “Wynona”
Anna’s story is one of introspection and acceptance. Battling with self-love and self-worth, she channelled her emotions into the creation of “Wynona.” The song is a heartfelt narrative that resonates with anyone who has ever struggled to love themselves. Anna’s powerful and emotive voice brings these themes to life, creating a connection with listeners that is both profound and uplifting.
Adding to the band’s distinctive sound is Etienne, Gennre’s talented guitarist. His exceptional guitar skills infuse “Wynona” with layers of musical complexity and emotion. His ability to blend technical prowess with heartfelt emotion plays a crucial role in the band’s unique sound.
A Touch of Humour
One of the standout moments in the video is a scene where Anna, declares that she is hungry and expresses a peculiar craving for raven. This light-hearted moment adds a touch of whimsy to the video, showcasing Anna’s great acting skills and the band’s ability to blend seriousness with humour.
In film festivals, small nuances in music videos can be decisive. A unique visual style, an unexpected narrative twist, or an innovative artistic choice can make a video stand out. Thinking differently and adding that little twist can create a lasting impression, elevating a music video above the rest and capturing the attention of judges and viewers alike.
