Ex-Maccabees frontman Orlando Weeks and Wet Leg's Rhian Teasdale embark on a cinematic journey, in Matt Harris-Freeth's playfully surreal video for Dig.Paying homage to classic cinema and fantastical adventure films, the video seamlessly combines old-school SFX techniques with AI-generated imagery, with delightful results as giant Rhian and tiny Orlando make an unconventional team in search for treasure. The vintage aesthetic suits the offbeat concept perfectly, and the restrained yet inspired use of new technology helps it feel like an organic addition, rather than drawing attention to itself. A great collaboration, and the visual iconography paired with the artists' enigmatic performances creates a palpable energy.
