Oh Land, also known as Nanna Øland Fabricus, recently released a new music video for the song “Love You Better”, from her album Wishbone.

The artist had told NPR that the song was written in L.A. with David Poe, while they were talking about ” how you sometimes know that you would be better at love if only you were older. But you can’t rush old. You have to be young and dumb and let time do its thing before you get the experience you need to handle love right.”

Directed by Kristian Levring, the video starts out with the artist singing behind a dark scenery. Throughout the video, the artist transforms into her current look. To make these visual effects possible, there were a director of photography and visual producer, makeup artists, 2D artists and 3D artists, and colourists. The music video is shown below.

According to the press release, the artist had said the following:

“In 2014 I had a role in a western film shooting in South Africa…I had the guts to ask [the director Kristian Levring] if he would do a music video for me, knowing that it was unlikely to happen. But he said promptly, ‘Yes, if I can pick the song myself.’ The video shoot was fun and challenging because it was sort of shot like stop motion. We gradually remove prosthetics and make up for me to get younger and younger. I was wearing 3D tracking dots in order for the animators to make the transitions seamless. It was 95% of the time in the makeup process and the rest was shooting, but I had the feeling we were doing something magical and unusual for a music video. Kristian Levring had the idea for the ‘reversed aging’. His daughter did the makeup and it was shot in his house in the north of Denmark by the sea. The whole atmosphere was very family oriented and all about the love of the arts and music and weird ideas.”
