Gramatik | Torture Feat. Eric Krasno | Official Music Video

Artist: Gramatik Directed and Produced by Leo Marthaler & Alban Delachenal In a near future, Gramatik (73 years old) and his stuffed-cat are locked up in a nursing home. One morning, after playing very loudly with his MPC, the Evil Superior Nurse tries to unplug his soundsystem. Big mistake, considering the homemade electric taser he is holding. Gramatik then starts an incredible journey, riding his over pimped scooter around the country and taking people out of boredom. Little did he know that the nurse was a very vindictive, over-trained sword fighter... http://www.leomarthaler.tv http://www.albandelachenal.com -------------- Directed and Produced by Leo Marthaler & Alban Delachenal Director of Photography: Ludovic Matthey Assistant Camera: Gregory Terlikowski Assistant Director: Nathalie Ishak Art Director: Jan Paepke Editor: Leo Marthaler & Alban Delachenal VFX: Jonas Ginter, Captain 3D, Leo Marthaler Color grading: Gregory Terlikowski Key Grip: Sophie PoncainGaffer: Mathieu Werlen Drone Operators: Benjamin Bertigny & Richard Poinsard (http://www.birdview-creation.ch/ ) Props: Flavie Marthaler On Set Assistants: Chris Levan Christian Masullo Vincent Roditi Shibahu Midorino Associate Producer: Agence 4 vallées Associate Producer: Patrick Location Makeup: Nathalie Ishak Storyboard: Nibe Matisse Cast: Jacques Mooser Diane-Laure Extras: Anne Thorens Lemanic Coast Chapter crew Eric Vermet Isabelle Volet Janny Snaterse JH Fournier Jackie Haefliger Jean Pierre Roulin Isabelle Volet Special Thanks: Denis Jašarević Morgan Young Blake Nichols Anže Koron Imagina Studio Staff de la Grande Dixence Felix Helfer Basil Manent Antoine Schirer Atelier Roue Libre Ludovic Favre Staff hopital de Martigny Vincent Castagna Hopital de Sierre Snake Bar Valais G60 Lausanne La Ville de Sion Switzerland, February 2015 ---------------- This video came out of the twisted minds of Swiss video directors Leo Marthaler and Alban Delachenal. We have been long time fans of Gramatik and every time we listen to his tracks, a debauchery of images just come in our mind. Some pretty sick ones we must admit… One night, after (too) many beers we wrote Gramatik on Twitter telling him just that: "We are making a badass music video for you, hope you gonna like it, cheers L&A." He replied within an hour something along "Cool, use my new logo tho". That's how it all started. It took us 6 months of work, we spent all our hard earned cash in it, put together a crew of 12 amazing people and shot with the best possible camera gear. Torture, ladies and gentlemen. It was a pretty rock'n'roll shoot, 3 days of proper guerilla filmmaking. We had to use secret ninja technics not to get caught by the police because we shot in UNESCO protected sites, blocked without permit very highly frequented roads, shot on top of Switzerland's biggest and most protected water dam and as usual, no time to get authorizations… All you see in this video has a bit of a f*cked up story. For instance, during the old-people-dancing-scene, Léo had to dance half naked with the extras, to warm them up and show what kind of crazy dancing we were looking for. After 30 seconds, he was busting a weird-crawling dance move on the ground and the oldest extra (76 yo) didn't see him. One second later she felt hard on the ground, head first. Bad moment, she was evacuated to the hospital but luckily nothing serious ! That was intense. Also, did you notice that it was real vodka in the props ? The extras didn't know it and you can clearly see it on their faces shot at 240 frames per second… When the first version of the video was rendered, we wrote an email to Gramatik's management: Gramatik was performing the same night in our city in Switzerland. Jeez! We needed to see him ! The manager responded immediately and invited us in the backstage to share some beers with Gramatik and his crew (awesome people BTW). They digged the video and were glad to use it as their official music video! Here we go. Of course it was a big gamble but at least we have done something instead of dreaming up to shoot a music video for him … ---------- FREE DOWNLOAD: http://www.gramatik.net/discography Follow Gramatik: http://www.gramatik.net https://www.facebook.com/gramatik https://twitter.com/Gramatik https://soundcloud.com/gramatik http://instagram.com/gramatik Spotify: http://tinyurl.com/nbx9ke9 Deezer: http://tinyurl.com/n6k9d5a Beatport: http://tinyurl.com/qjbbchm iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kmdt5m7 Google Play: http://tinyurl.com/q4pqydn Follow Lowtemp: http://lowtempmusic.com/ https://www.facebook.com/lowtemp https://soundcloud.com/lowtemp-music https://twitter.com/LowtempMusic
