About

2022年、イギリスの映画監督トーマス・ベズウィックから「ワイルド・テイム」に、絶賛されたグループ「オープン・リール・アンサンブル」のワイルドなミュージックビデオに命を吹き込むよう依頼されました。

700リールのテープと細部まで行き届いたストーリーボードの助けを借りて、チームはトーマスのビジョンを実現しました。

Raw performance, precisely orchestrated

Open Reel Ensemble are known for a deconstructed approach to music, building rhythm and performance from reconfigured reel-to-reel tape machines used as instruments. The video was conceived to reflect that same energy on screen, embracing raw, mechanical, and playful imagery while maintaining a level of polish that supports the band’s distinctive identity on screen.

Raw performance, precisely orchestrated

The project was built around a tightly controlled live-action setup, shaped by significant physical and logistical constraints.

With limited time on set and a performance-led shoot, improvisation wasn’t an option. A detailed storyboard mapped every shot in advance, allowing technical challenges to be resolved before filming began. This approach kept the shoot moving efficiently and ensured attention stayed on the band’s performance rather than the mechanics of production.

Careful preparation allowed the performance to remain raw while execution stayed controlled.
