New Video for Markus Wormstorm ‘To Be An Open String’
Markus Wormstorm has a new music video for the track ‘To Be An Open String’ which is the first single off his new album. The music video was unveiled at the Red Bull Studios in Cape Town.
Markus Wormstorm’s ‘To Be An Open String’ music video was directed by Travys Owen who is motion graphics artist and photographer. Owen is known for his striking portraiture and video direction.
Travys adds his thoughts on the creation of the music video…
“With the whimsical, instrumental nature of the track I created a video that echoes the beauty of nature juxtaposed by the rawness of the ocean and beauty of the human form.”
The director opted to make use of a mixture of video and photographic portraits in studio, including cutaways of the ocean and waves to help create the story.
“I’ve been looking for an excuse to work with Travys since we collaborated on an Adidas campaign in 2014. I came across his video for Petite Noir just as I was finishing my album and I was blown away by it so I reached out to him. It all came together easily.” Shared Markus
