“I wanted to make a video where all the effects were done by hand, there are no VFX or anything done in post. It’s funny because this video looks pretty lo-fi and DIY, which it was, but it also required so many different cameras and equipment, friends to help us, and an entire month and multiple shoot days in order to wait for the film to get developed. But stuff like this is really fun for me, especially now that most creative effects we see now are digital or made by AI. The beauty with doing effects live or with analogue tools is there is a surprise element you can’t really account for. Like for whatever reason in the stop motion, the film was exposed differently on certain photos even though the settings and light were the same, but I thought it ended up just making it more interesting.” - Caroline Rose
To accompany 2023’s acclaimed album, The Art of forgetting, Caroline created a series of music videos that piece together as a short film. Via a series of time-warped loops, each chapter weaves together a story of Caroline navigating through a transformative heartbreak. A loose recreation of some events in their life, the film accomplishes a fever-dream, Old Hollywood-esque feel through continuous shots and discontinuous narrative. The film won Best Music Video at Hollywood Shortsfest, is a semi-finalist at Cannes Indie Shorts Awards and Venezia Shorts Italy, and has been selected for HollyShorts Film Festival and several others worldwide.
