The Chemical Brothers, Skipping Like A Stone

Pensacola

CANADA

The brief was completely open, and we knew a lot of people would be pitching for it, so we decided to bring something we considered new, and work on a concept that was both cinematic and as mesmerising as the song. The song has a certain epic, celestial tone. I listened to it 400 times and some images repeated in my head every time we listened to it. Then, of course, the lyrics associate the idea of coming together, with skipping stones. When you associate these two concepts, very poetic ideas come to mind. Doing the treatment was a lot of fun. I was completely aware that it was a “weird” idea to present, but having grown up watching Chemical Brothers videos, I always loved how different and odd their videos were.
