The music video for ‘Devastated’ is a collaboration between Storm Greenwood and Katrin Blackwater. Sharing a love of the Pre-Raphaelites and a passion for ritual, this project brought together our influences, inspirations and skills for the first time.
The video takes the protagonist through a series of elemental ritual phases: 1) Air – inhabiting and mourning 2) Earth – descending and surrendering 3) Water – cleansing and resting 4) Fire – healing and emerging.
The colour palette is reflective of the phases of a bruise: Red, green and yellow and the images are an amalgamation of our shared and separate inspirations and experiences — our love for the Pre-Raphaelites, Katrin’s interest in Scottish folklore and performance work with Beltane Fire Society and Storm’s ritual processes.
The video was filmed over a weekend in September 2019 in Blackford Hill and Harlaw Reservoir in Scotland on a Pentax K-20 DSLR.
