Alphanaut Spontaneity Music Video



The debut video by Alphanaut "Spontaneity" from "The Lunar Age" EP is a story of the creative spirit separated from the body, struggling to reconnect. Nils Timm directed the song by Mark Alan and stars Claire Falconer as the nude disembodied specter.

Most of this video was shot using two digital still cameras to create over 40,000 photos which were stitched together to create the moving image.
