Rauri Cantelo directs a retro-futuristic promo for Rose Gray - the director's third&nbsp;for the up-and-coming dance-pop artist.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The video for Ecstasy jumps&nbsp;between cold labratory spaces and softer organic moments, the metallic textures clashing with playful, intense colour, creating a weird and wonderful world that is Rose Gray's own. It follows Cantelo and Gray&nbsp;previous collaborations on&nbsp;Synchronicity and Promise Me.[imgtoken data:1]"Working with Rose and the team again has been an absolute dream," says Cantelo.&nbsp;"Our aim for Ecstasy was to create a weird and wonderful world that employs a crossover between those iconic late 90’s/early 00’s music videos and the new wave sci-fi era of the 60’s/70’s."[imgtoken data:2]

Rose Gray 'Ecstasy' by Rauri Cantelo

Rose-Grey-'Ecstasy-'-by-Rauri-Cantelo

Rauri Cantelo has created the visual identidy for Rose Gray's debut EP Syncronicity, with two videos including the intoxicating mix of lo-fi thrills and VFX for the title track.&nbsp;Originally coined by psychiatrist Carl Jung in the early 20th century, 'synchronicity' described the philospher's argument&nbsp;that everything in the universe is intimately connected, and that there was a collective unconscious of humankind. Essentially implying that events happening all over the world at any one time must be connected in some unknown way.Cantelo translates this idea into Gray's trip with friends in a car, where reality begins to collide with another dimension, created by using different VFX techniques, including Photogrammetry.&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1] "From early on in the process it was was clear that we were looking to create a film that didn’t conform to traditional chronology," says Cantelo. "It&nbsp;almost needed to be modular and fractured in its structure, a snapshot of a moment that can be broken apart and glued back together in numerous ways to essentially convey a sense of feeling rather than a clear cut narrative. "I wanted the film to look further into shared memories and experiences. After&nbsp;all the track’s name gave us the perfect footing to launch into a world that explores a deeper, almost cerebral connection between a group of people sharing a synchronised moment."By utilising LiDAR and photogrammetry we would then be able to convey a three dimensional connection between these individuals that surpasses the physical world seen on camera.”
