Brandon Cronenberg (Antiviral) directed this music video for Animalia’s “Stifling,” working with cinematographer Karim Hussain.
The video features a cast of one, along with throbbing projections of a face superimposed on a face, light tricks reminiscent of Henri-Georges Clouzot’s unfinished, avant garde Inferno, cheeks pressed on glass, goo-drooling and tinted light. Cronenberg Jr makes a singer singing a song look hypnotic, with heavily stylized visual effects, which all feel decidedly non-digital.
