"youth" / auburn - music video | Emir Ezwan

"Youth" is an adventurous short-form cinematic delve off the beaten cliffs of the music video, and into the promised realm of musical noir and song-driven syncopated linear storytelling. The film director, here as the unseen visual keymaker, reimagines and unfolds the lyrical journey of the young Lost Boys/Auburn kids, their mission and their allies like a quilt that is open to multi-interpretation. The real protagonist, as it is hoped here, would be the listener looking in. The story of “Youth” is a familiar yet cursory tale of a quest set in a melancholic Malaysia of the future, where concepts like hope and courage and sacrifice can no longer be taken for granted. - Client - Karya Anak Malaysia (Sub Records) Artist - Auburn Production & Post - Entropy (www.entropy.my) Director - Emir Ezwan Story Treatment: Emir Ezwan & Izuan Shah DOP - Julian Oh of Redd Bullets (www.reddbullets.com) 2nd Camera - Carolyn Chon of Redd Bullets Camera Assistants - Mei-Fern Chong of Redd Bullets & Sabrina Executive Producer - Hadie Pranoto Line Producer - Farah Nabila Editor - Sufie Stylist - Natalie Zainal Makeup - Jeja Tech Assistant - Ito, Kamil PA - Carmen Chew Casts - Wan, Zaly, Isaaq, Arini, Mizan, Pablo, Din, Faiz, Mus, El MDFA2013 - Best Digital Music Video MDFA2013 - Best Computer Generated Innovation
