This unpretentiousness of this video's title equals the simplicity of its underlying structure. Nik Thoenen, a graphic artist by trade, constructed an installation consisting of flourescent tubes mounted in a horicontal row especially for this video, his first. The arrangement of tubes was then 'scanned' with a mounted super-8 film camera.
Timo Novotny, a maker of music videos, then copied the resulting Super-8 material with a digital camera at different shutter speeds and manipulated the speed of the footage during the digital postproduction phase and an atmospherically dense somewhat eerie soundtrack by Wolfgang Schloegl was added.
