Reuben Armstrong explores deep space in slow motion in the video for Staircase. Featuring Norwegian model Bodil Bjervik Blain, the concept focuses on a woman who wakes up to find herself in space, grappling with zero-gravity. Thrown into the situation headfirst, all she can do is watch the scene unfold and block her body from any of the objects hurtling past her. The cinematography is precise and effective, capturing a sense of calm and panic simultaneously, through clever lighting and camera movement. Blain's intense performance bolsters the concept, her facial expressions painting a picture of her brain's reaction to the surreal situation.
