CAIROBI - Saint (Directed and Animated by www.sebaldo.co.uk)
Music by : www.cairobi.co.uk Video by : www.sebaldo.co.uk
words from director:
When the guys told me that the idea for the song was based on a man being dumped by his girlfriend in the morning whilst he is still half a sleep, I thought I’m in!
The narrative for the video is a woman carrying a sleeping/dreaming man over her shoulder as they journey closer towards the man’s fate. This mixed in with a dream sequence and a purple eyed frog (the saint) spawning a brand new heart for our main character; the video takes you on a classic psychedelic crazy Sebaldo/Cairobi style journey.
I concentrated on the idea of a break-up being a new lease of life, a beginning, not an end. That’s why I liked the idea of the frog and the frog-spawn which was inspired by the front cover of the new Cairobi album.
As always with the guys they let me pretty much run free with this and the video actually ended up being quite personal to me which from some of the stuff that’s in there could be seen as being quite worrying. I really connect with Cairobi’s music and hopefully that comes across in the video. Iv heard the song a thousand times and I still love every little second of it!
Give yourself over to the frog with the purple eyes All hail Cairobi
