AIRBAG director Benn Jae shoots visually striking ‘Think of Me’ music video for The Veronica’s
AIRBAG’s Benn Jae has directed iconic Australian duo The Veronica’s latest music video, ‘Think of Me’. Each scene is its own wondrous escape, a glimpse into a picturesque world of surreal adventure.
The clip marks the duo’s first single in two years. Jae has crafted an opulent cinematic ode to ‘the breakup’.
Says Jae: “For me there is a real beauty in the darkness of a break-up. Regardless of the process, everyone generally gets to the end of the hideously long dark tunnel, and a new day begins. Once you make it through it’s pretty empowering.”
Shot in New Zealand over two days, the music video features a series of stunning locations and mystical, dreamlike scenarios from ethereal mountaintop views to the gardens of a crumbling, hauntingly gritty mansion.
Says Martin Box, EP/head of production, AIRBAG: “Benn Jae has a great talent for capturing beautifully evocative imagery. Here he’s created a captivating mood that’s part utopia and part apocalypse – the duality of any decent breakup, really.”
Says Jae: “I love shooting in New Zealand. The natural light, the landscapes, the crew, the endless location options – it doesn’t get any better. Having grown up in the region, I’ve been sitting on some sweet little location gems for a while, and every now and then the right idea comes along and we get to use a few of them.”
