The camera bobs, weaves, floats and ducks, tracks, speeds up and slows down with ease; never resting throughout the entire runtime of Ben Galster‘s mesmeric one-shot music video Kugelsicher, created for pop artist Marie Bothmer. Shot entirely in the twilight period on the border between Berlin and the state of Brandenburg, Galster immediately plunges us into the aftermath of a violent, life-threatening scene, with characters caught in a moral quandary that offers no easy solutions. The result is a flowing, gripping music video with a surfeit of style; an immersive experience that brings to mind both Sebastian Schipper’s Victoria and the post-robbery feel of Reservoir Dogs. Dn had the chance to talk to the Berlin-based director about the technical challenges of the shoot, finding the perfect location, working with an open brief, and getting the right vintage lenses to capture both foreground and background at the same time.
