Alabama (duo James Worsley and Pedro de la Fuente) venture into the strange lands of the dirty south for the soulful, dare we say, ‘brostep’ of Monsta. It’s a brilliantly frenetic journey, with some top swampland locations and quirky characters. Azul Serra has done a lovely job as DoP, and again Alabama have captured everything in a slightly surreal and incredibly polished production.

It’s a brilliantly frenetic journey, with some top swampland locations and quirky characters. Azul Serra has done a lovely job as DoP, and again Alabama have captured everything in a slightly surreal and incredibly polished production. The duo called in some favours to film in the area, and used some in-camera trickery to bring an edgier feel. James explains: “When we first heard the track we were instantly transported to the deep south USA. You know, white trash stuff, meth addicts, guns, young girls with not so much clothes on, religious cults, all of that stuff. We have a bunch of friends in Savannah and some of the places you find there are just incredible. Swamps, derelict buildings and incredible southern food. What’s not to like. “We wanted also to hit a sweet spot between high end equipment and a gritty low-fi camera we have been wanting to experiment with for ages. Also we played a lot with optical effects done in camera. Distorting the image as we are filming gives a much more organic and unique result rather then doing it in post.”
