Delphic 'This Momentary' - directed by Dave Ma

Manchester-based indie-rock band Delphic wanted a unique music video for their futuristic-sounding new single, ‘This Momentary’.

Pulse Films took the unprecedented step of filming the music video in Chernobyl, the site of the 1986 nuclear explosion in Russia. Unusually, the video was shot in a documentary style. The director (Dave Ma) and producer (Neil Andrews) spoke to real Chernobyl inhabitants - visiting the abandoned town near the power plant, the deserted villages where elderly people still live and the towns where people were relocated – and the narrative was constructed around their lives. However, unlike the roving format of documentaries, the shots were composed in a very still manner, to lend the video a sense of time and tranquility.

The video was shot on RED with a set of primes for the highest picture quality, meaning that the crew had to carry all the equipment around the eerily deserted site. Shooting inside the Chernobyl Zone of Exclusion meant other challenges for the crew; at the end of every day they all had to be screened for radiation.

The end result is a totally unique music video which captures the everyday lives of ordinary people living in the most extraordinary circumstances.

the cinematography is nice, but not that spectacular as to sustain the whole video by itself; felt the need for some performance shots and for fewer 'documentary' shots, because it started to feel like a discovery channel promo.

edit was quite good.

Lots of great images. Nice grade. Loved the ballet dancing/horse struggling montage.

This is very very interesting. Good use of the Red. Didn't have any problems with lack of perf shots, it's a video of images but there is no subtext. Very well done. But somehow unsatisfying. Maybe it's the last shot or flow, dunno what it is. More of an art piece than selling the song, kudos for trying and succeeding on something out of the box.

But it makes sense with this

Mesmerizing. Beautiful. Fascinating. COD4. Good job, Dave.

COD4 def came to mind. Sniping probably was not the association they were doing for.
