NEW VIDEO FROM LOITS

LOITS have recorded a video to the song ‘Haavad Uulitsal’ (That’s ‘Wounds on the Streets’ in English!) The video was first shown on the 10th April at Tallinn’s Cinema House, and is soon to be featured on various TV stations. Director of the video, Liina Paakspuu, comments on the video below:

“I was trying to capture the essence of the band. It’s not just one story on the screen, but a multilayered vision of Estonians, fate, life, death, wars and inevitability. Visually I concentrated on the clarity and simplicity of plans. For me it was important to think everything through to the last detail, so that the story and themes would provide plenty of discovering material every time one looks at the video. It’s always harder to put life into one independent plan in all it’s nakedness than to stash a lot of takes on top of one another, making them plausible through trickery in the cutting room. The magic of this video is that certain Estonian essence, the untraditionally slow tempo and lack of effects. The honesty of the video lies in the fact that a lot of frames that could be done digitally, are shot in pure old school fashion in the vein of cinematographical excellence. The term “creative energy” became very important to me while making this video. We tried to put life in every element – from historical costumes to the fact that a lot of great people from all over Estonia came together to make this heartwarming project happen.”
