Steve Milbourne's second experimental music video project in quick succession (following EMiL's Deadwood) is for RCA artist Tanya Lacey's catchy Born To Fly.

"We were inspired by some of the lovely cinemagraphs we've seen around the web recently, and we decided this concept on a much larger scale would make a really interesting visual narrative. We shot the cinemagraph as the full length of Stokes Croft Road in Bristol (around 140 meters in length) and have rendered it for HTML5 as well as a version on Youtube."

A little experimental music video for EMiL's Deadwood by Steve Milbourne - who's more usually occupied making commercials for Sony Music, including the MVA-winning ad for Mark Ronson &amp; The Business International's <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/2010/09/29/mark-ronson-the-business-international-30s-tv-ad-by-steve-milbourne-phil-clandillon/" target="_blank">Record Collection</a>. 
"Normally we wouldn't take on a regular music video job, and in this case the label had an absolute shoestring budget... literally enough for a camera and some lights," Steve explains. "But I spoke to the artist and a thought struck that perhaps I could add something different. So I decided to shoot a very simple straightforward one shot performance of Emil in black and white, accompanied by a dancer.
"The reason for the dancer is that (without telling anyone in the treatment) I thought I'd experiment a little with YouTube, and so I used her as a mechanism to make a little stop frame animation hidden within the video - which is a nod towards someone that Emil mentioned to me as one of his biggest musical influences.
"The way it works is that in standard resolution, once the video has pre-loaded (grey bar is full at the bottom). If you mute the volume and then press the number keys on your keyboard 1 to 0 in turn, you get the effect. Could be a nice little mechanism that could be of use in some higher budget things next year!"
