Stereophonics 'There's Always Gonna Be Something' by Rhory Danniells

Rob Ulitski - 11th Feb 2025

Rhory Danniells directs a stunning performance promo for the return of Stereophonics. 

The video for There's Always Gonna Be Something opens with a montage of on-set BTS footage, before diving into a red-tinged performance by the band led by the seemingly ageless Kelly Jones - filmed to replicate the look of Kodak Aerochrome infrared film - within a Georgian-style summerhouse. 

"When I was asked to pitch an idea for the Stereophonics with a Kodak Aerochrome infrared film look I was pretty excited - but also had no idea how to achieve it," admits Danniells. "Kodak Aerochrome was originally developed in the 1940s for military reconnaissance. The stock was discontinued in 2007 so the solution needed to be found digitally.

"We used Arri's modified Alexa that allows the full spectrum of light, from ultraviolet to infrared. This was used in combination with an IR Chrome filter to get us closer to the Aerochrome look.

"Being able to do this in-camera digitally and not in post was a gamechanger but also came with its problems. I really want to thank DoP Stephen Dunn, his crew and everyone at Arri rental for all the time and effort that went into this project."
