Flamingods - Rhama
111 votes
The concept for the Rhama music video revolves around a mysterious society of Pakistani wrestlers that are present in Dubai. Dedicating their lives to a traditional form of wrestling called Kushti, their matches take place every Friday during sunset in a sandy lot of land in old Dubai. Over the past few months we have attended these matches, and got to know the wrestlers with the help of our Urdu translator. In making this video, the Barbu TV guys were invited to live in their rural Al Ain apartment for a few days. The video shows the culture surrounding the wrestling, and the symbolism and ritual behind it; as well as flashes of everyday Pakistani life in the UAE – perhaps a surprising visual given the country’s notoriety for being a glossy metropolis.Directed By: Barbu.tv - Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/barbutv // Facebook: https://goo.gl/zQubL8 Cameraman: Yannick poffet Edit: Maxime Cramatte Drone Operator - Sameer Antulay Opening Credits by Raimund Wong - http://www.raimundwong.com

Flamingods - Taboo Grooves
Filmed on the south coast and directed by Elliot Arndt & Laura Little, the video takes inspiration from an old story surrounding “the most haunted place in the UK” an old building in Devon, now a pub, which contained a staircase that had been a constant source of misfortune.In an attempt to banish the curse, the owners held a pagan burial for the staircase on top of a hill. The pair decided to adapt this mystical story for Flamingods Director Elliot Arndt describes the video; “As soon as I heard the track I had this feeling of a large group of friends & freaks together creating a magical and spiritual scene. The staircase represents ascension, illumination, and the burial contrasts with it because of its very nature, death and grounding”.Credits:Directed & Produced by Laura Little and Elliott ArndtDirector of Photography: Jack Thompson-RoylanceCamera Assistant: Jack EdwardsEdited by Elliott ArndtColorist: Yehan Jehan
