Saul Williams came to us. He wanted to be filmed in Paris Catacombs. Not the official, clean ones. He wanted to go in the dirty, tough, cold and humid network of underground corridors. He thought we might be crazy enough to accept the challenge.

We were crazy enough.

    At times an intriguing quest, at others an exploration of nether worlds of a unity of sound and structure. Wonderful.

    This video is amazing, the performances are powerful.
    And the sound is fantastic! What did François use to capture it? Last song is really cool, I particularly prefer this 'catacomb version'.
  • François Clos 3 months ago
    Hi Marcelo, and thanks for the comment !
    soundwise, we used gear that could go in a very wet atmsophere: Sanken & DPA lav/ sennheiser MS couple / 788 sound devices recorder. The Zoom H4 worked pretty well in this environment too.

    Félicitation, super film ; et vraie performance compte tenu du lieu et des conditions extrêmes.

    La caméra a tenu le choc de l’humidité ?
  • La Blogotheque pro 2 months ago
    merci beaucoup !

    la caméra a absolument tenu le choc - mais elle m'a quand même fait une grosse frayeur au cours des deux premières heures. lors de la traversée des galeries les plus humides, l'objectif a commencé à se couvrir de buée... le risque étant qu'il y'en ai des deux côtés de la lentille, et qu'elle ne disparaisse plus. heureusement pour tout le monde, une heure plus tard, tout était redevenu normal et j'ai pu tourner sans problème jusqu'à la fin.

    Merci Colin pour cette anecdote un peu terrifiante...
    Saul Williams, ça valait le coup de prendre le risque !

    Are these songs on a album or are they just especially performed for this video?

    beautiful man, song, message, beautiful work on clip! and the voice and words made me think..."All who are not lunatics are agreed about certain things. That it is better to be alive than dead, better to be adequately fed than starved, better to be free than a slave. Many people desire those things only for themselves and their friends; they are quite content that their enemies should suffer. These people can only be refuted by science: Humankind has become so much one family that we cannot ensure our own prosperity except by ensuring that of everyone else. If you wish to be happy yourself, you must resign yourself to seeing others also happy."
    BERTRAND RUSSELL
