Gabriella Cilmi 'Symmetry' by Tim Fox
Jimmy Brown - 3rd Oct 2013
Driven by some cool on-body projections and waves of floating fabric, Tim Fox draws on the ethereal atmospherics in Gabriella Cilmi's Symmetry to good effect, placing the singer in an 'outer space' setting...
Tim Fox: "The song Symmetry is about two people becoming so symbiotic they start to mirror each other. I didn't want to do the obvious of using a mirror/kaleidoscope effect on everything, so instead we followed the theme of planets and things aligning. The song takes place under the ominous presence of a black hole its dark forces pulling everything together.
"We used a few hands-on, DIY effects such as waving pieces of cloth around Gabriella - Me and the crew are just off screen waving them frantically! We also used a projector to align a projection of Gabriella singing onto Gabriella - it took a bit of explaining but you'll understand when you see it.
"This was another excuse for me to combine my VFX skills with beautiful live action footage, shot by the masterful Greg Taylor."
