On the creation of the “Disobey” video

The video for “Disobey” was an formidable and difficult mission. I labored largely with my very long time companion Paola Rocchetti: we complement one another in numerous areas, so we have been in a position to obtain quite a bit due to the number of completely different expertise we each have. It began with simply the 2 of us, after which we concerned a much bigger workforce throughout manufacturing. We have been very secretive about each side of the manufacturing. For ODDKO’s subsequent movies, we wish to be extra open, get different artists concerned in the entire course of and present the viewers how the mission develops.

In each industrial mission there’s a consumer, however for “Disobey” I used to be my very own “consumer”. I had the liberty to steer the mission within the route I wished and this felt extra consultant of me as an artist: what I put out there may be actually one thing that speaks my language and expresses my creativity.

With “Disobey”, I attempted to experiment and do issues otherwise than the usual within the music business (i.e. making a music video for a observe that’s completed). I as an alternative created the music and the visuals on the identical time–they have been inbuilt synchronicity. For instance, I had a tough lower of the video whereas the observe was nonetheless being organized. At one level I requested Francesco Paoli to play the drums whereas watching the video edit in order that he can be influenced by its vibe. I wished to make one thing that had no separation between sound and imaginative and prescient.

On transitioning from video director to musical artist

I really like all types of artwork, and music movies can convey all of them collectively in a single expertise. There was by no means a transition from visible artwork to music or vice versa. Music is a superb ardour of mine since I used to be very younger, however determined to make a profession in video making, which can be one thing that I’m naturally pushed into. Music and visuals are two parts that outline me equally and I discover it tough to maintain the 2 separate. Sporting each hats as a musician and as a director feels very pure to me.

After I make visible work or make music, I attempt to create one thing that has a that means on completely different ranges. It may be skilled only for the visible enchantment or the sound, however I additionally add hints to deeper ideas with the hope to problem folks to consider a selected subject. I additionally like to depart some house for the viewers’s creativeness and their very own perspective. It’s like a thriller field: I don’t dictate the conclusion — I might reasonably have everybody come to at least one primarily based on their very own expertise and evaluation. My principal inventive aim is to entertain whereas on the identical time make folks query the world at massive.

On directing two Korn movies

I had forgotten about it till lately, however my good pal Francesca lately jogged my memory that, when she requested me in highschool which band I might like to make a video for, my reply was ”Korn”.

In 2011, I misplaced a pitch for Korn’s music video “Narcissistic Cannibal“ which was awarded to a pal of mine, Alex Bulkley. We beforehand labored collectively on Jane’s Dependancy’s music video and he requested me to work on the submit manufacturing for the “Narcissistic Cannibal” video. It didn’t work out at the moment, as I used to be busy with one other mission. However I didn’t quit and in 2013 I received two pitches and obtained to direct the music movies “By no means By no means” and “Love & Meth” for Korn. It was a dream come true.
