MAKING THE SHADOWMAKER VIDEO

Behind the Shadows – The Making of The Shadowmaker Video

Step into the world of The Shadowmaker video, an intense and captivating visual journey that brings the haunting atmosphere of Simon Shackleton’s latest single to life. Directed by the visionary Chele Gutek, with stunning cinematography by Ricky Lesser, the video takes viewers deep into the thematic shadows that define The Shadowmaker project.

Creating a Visual Experience for The Shadowmaker

The Shadowmaker video is more than just a music video—it’s a cinematic experience. Teaming up with director Chele Gutek, known for her keen eye and emotional storytelling, and cinematographer Ricky Lesser, whose work captures each frame with depth and mystery, we aimed to bring the dark and introspective themes of The Shadowmaker to the screen in a way that resonates deeply. Shot on location in a secret central Colorado location, the video uses light and shadow to mirror the song’s journey through self-doubt, vulnerability, and resilience.

Chele’s direction has been instrumental in capturing the raw emotion of the track. Each scene is carefully crafted to feel like an evolving story, with fluidity that mirrors the layered composition of the music. And Ricky Lesser’s incredible camera work immerses viewers in the eerie, atmospheric world of The Shadowmaker, with rich visual textures that perfectly accompany the haunting soundscape.

The Story Behind the Masks

One of the most striking elements of the video is the intricate, hand-crafted masks that embody the song’s themes of identity, shadow, and self-reflection. Each mask is created specifically to represent different aspects of the album, serving as a symbolic guide through the shadows we face within ourselves. The design and movement of the masks add a surreal layer to the visuals, inviting viewers to confront their own reflections in the darkness.

The journey to create The Shadowmaker video was both intense and deeply rewarding. With a dedicated team and a shared vision, we captured the essence of the track and delivered an emotional, captivating piece that stands as a core component of the Shadowmaker experience.
