Wyld Stallyons teamed up with director Orlando Cubitt and producer Jacob Swan Hyam to produce a stunning video for Russian superstars DJ Smash and Timati (also known as Mr Blackstar).
While some practical elements were shot, most of the magic was created in post production, turning greenscreen footage into a world of neon cities, sunset bays and private jets. The video’s co-director, Chris Sayer from Wyld Stallyons, created a stylised vista, full of immersive detail, as we follow DJ Smash and Timati traversing a city on motorbikes, skimming across waves on jet skis and chilling out in an aircraft hangar. Keep an eye out for a guest appearance from Russian prime minister Vladamir Putin!
