Tom Walker 'Burn' by Elliott Gonzo

Rob Ulitski - 1st Nov 2023

Elliott Gonzo directs an cinematic promo for Tom Walker, where a young man discovers a burning easel in the middle of the forest. 

The video for Burn sees the character - played by Joshua James Smith - overcome with emotion as he watches the mysterious painting on the easel engulfed in flame. Then, foreshadowing the events to come, he is struck by lightning, before the entire forest starts to burn around him. 

Interspersed with high-energy performance sections, the video burns brightly across its two and a half minute runtime, before building to a fiery climax. 

With an earthy colour palette and frenetic cinematography, the video is beautiful to look at, and the balance of abstract narrative and performance checks all the boxes.
