NOWNESS is premièring the #Entanglement video, check it out now to see Imogens most intimate video to date. Heres what Director Michael Lebor had to say about it: Andy Carne, the art director for the Sparks box set shot some beautiful stills for the front of the Entanglement single and so Imogen and I discussed shooting something that tied in with that. The picture on the cover looked like a loving embrace, perhaps after a steamy moment and so I wanted to work back from that. The end frame in the video is as close as I could get to the angle and lighting of the still that Andy took. Imogen has lovely, big floor to ceiling 10ft windows in the house and so I wanted to shoot just using the natural light that flooded in. I had recently been testing a camera (Sony FS700) that had excellent quality slow motion and because we didnt have a huge amount of time, I thought this would be a great way of shooting a simple video in an emotional and beautiful way. Imogen has great bone structure, great skin and a model like figure so I knew that if we got the right light, the rest would fall into place. Its essentially a love story but I wanted it to be unclear as to whether it was imagined or not. The video starts with Imogen on her own and perhaps she is remembering a moment with her lover or waiting for him to arrive, either way, its ambiguous as to who this person is, if he is really there or if this happened in the past. I wanted to build a narrative around the scene but because of time constraints and Imogens desire to keep it simple, we stayed within the confines of her bedroom and shot it in a few hours. It is difficult to sustain such a simple music video for five minutes, but that was the length of the song so we had to make it work. It was a very intimate shoot and I didnt want anyone else in the room, so its just me and Imogen. This of course created a challenge when I was needed for the scene. I used a tripod for those moments but an extra difficulty was that the camera only recorded 10 seconds of super slow motion at a time. This meant that after every take I would have to jump up and run across the room to press end record on the camera, not wearing very much... One of my favourite moments in the video is when Imogen looks at the camera and she looks truly in love. Its something that cant be captured on a busy set, so it was a magical moment for me.
