Harry Tomlin directs an energetic performance piece for frequent collaborators Dutch Criminal Record. The video for Gaslight takes place in a moonlit living room set, and makes use of some creative lighting techniques to build its palpable atmosphere. "We wanted to create a warm, inviting environment in the set to draw the audience in, but didn't want anything to seem fake," Tomlin explains of the video. "So we intentionally see off the edges of the set and lean into the stripped back nature of the video, allowing their performance and personalities to shine through."DoP Ed Swift uses lighting as a character is the video, creating striking imagery with the spotlighting and using cues to go from moody moonlighting to brighter stage lighting which mirrors the change in pace from verse to chorus. This is enhanced with Adam Mears's brilliant grade which elevates the lighting and gives the piece extra texture."We had so much footage of the band performing so Rebecca Quinn did an amazing job taming that beast and still managing to include so many little character moments. I love little details like their feet dancing to give a bit more texture to their performance."
