Vistas - Stranger

This is our latest 'lock down' video for Vistas new single Strangers. The director CL James wanted to have a go at creating an energetic video that looked as if it was all shot in one take.

CL James -

"The idea was born out of the sense of loneliness present in the lyrics, not being able to connect with the person you care about the most. The mannequins act as the faceless embodiment of the ones closest to us and being separated from someone you once held so close in your life.

We had initially planned a shoot for one of Vistas other tracks but that shoot was cancelled due to Covid. That film would have been a oner so we picked up the idea and adapted it for this one. Combine that with some great art design and the beautiful location and I think we’ve managed to create something really unique, that fits the track well.

It’s one of the rare occasions where the constraints of Covid actually suited what we were trying to make and subsequently aided us in the creative process."
