Stone 'Queen' by Grajper
Rob Ulitski - 19th July 2024
Polish director Grajper directs a very cool, clever and weirdly gripping video for Liverpool indie-rock band Stone, featuring two versions of frontman Fin Power.
In the promo for Queen - the director's first UK video - Grajper presents a concept of the Stone vocalist and his döppelgänger hanging out, doing weights, letting time pass as they go through an everyday routine. It is filmed in a naturalistic, candid way on film, with great camerawork and unforced performances, so the conceit is entirely seamless. Unfeasibly real, in fact.
Looking great, with fine cinematography by Louis Evennou, and skirting that line between everyday reality and the uncanny, whilst also retaining the energetic charm of previous Stone videos - like the UKMVA-winning video for Left Right Forward - makes this video a really impressive achievement.
