EmalKay ‘Bring It Down’ by Jake Harmer
Friday, 10. August 2012 - 3:10 pm
An enigmatic tale set in a decimated world for EmalKay’s Bring It Down, directed and produced by Jake Harmer, featuring two girls as they travel through this ruined landscape, mostly in face masks – but occasionally stopping to smell the flowers.
The Bring It Down video was shot on location in Sussex and Kent – and has already provoked a lot of YouTube debate. Jake Harmer isn’t giving too much away on the meaning of the video – but he does quote ‘ThePsilocypher’ for what he considers “the most interesting description so far.”
‘[The girls] wear the masks because they have to in a polluted world, and the dream-like way they’re shown in the meadow, and then it fading to grey, suggests it’s probably a flash back to before the ‘fall’. They probably are gay, but I think to focus on that is to get distracted from the actual point. They’re survivors of a revolution (“bring it down”) depicted in the intercut news footage, exploring a decimated world.’
