Shot across both Easdale and the Isle of Mull, Scotland, our latest campaign was captured on film by Samuel Bradley, with styling by Stephen Mann and soundtrack provided by Mount Kimbie.
The vast, open landscape of the coastal islands expresses a sense of freedom and tranquility. Shot in both colour and black and white, our feature film is a natural progression from a single image. Adding a third dimension, the subtle use of music from Mount Kimbie brings emotion to the landscape while the freedom and serenity captured is momentarily interrupted by Gaelic choir singing.
"The final film is split into what feels like three distinct chapters, bookended by a live recording of the choir on Mull. They hadn’t performed together for a year but the second they began rehearsing I had goosebumps. The actual recording was the last take of the day where I asked them to sing as they walked a path through the grass in front of Duart Castle, out towards the sea." - Samuel Bradley
"They’re passing the microphone one by one in a single file so the dynamics aren’t necessarily ‘correct’ from a sound recordist’s standpoint. But it’s this movement, I think, which makes the sound warm and tangible." - Samuel Bradley
