About The Video: Famed Los Angeles street artist and master puppeteer Eli Presser has lent his unique talents to the upcoming video Save Me from Capitol Music Group \/ MRV Music artists Royal Bliss. The video, directed by Presser and Greg Edgerton uses a life-sized puppet specifically constructed for the shoot which took place in the Mojave Desert under less than ideal conditions of 110 degree heat and 40 mph winds. The post-production on the video took an excruciating 4 weeks due to the challenges of frame-by-frame removal of the puppeteers used to operate the puppet.<\/p>\n
Save Me doesn’t feature any of the members of Royal Bliss but it does show viewers a walking personification of Royal Bliss’s tormented psyche. The star of the video is a puppet-headed human form with a smooth and impassive face; through skillful editing and clever camera-work, his movements are made halting and deliberate, like a marionette untethered. He lives alone in the desert, and only occasionally ventures out of his humble home. At times, hes buried up to his waist in the sand outside; at other moments, he has enough self-possession to converse with his only friend, his tabby cat, and flip ruefully through old photo books. The entire clip is rendered against a background that resembles withered paper or worn leather; it imparts an intimate texture to a clip that already feels emotionally raw. Soaked in sunset reds and dusty yellows, the Save Me video is gorgeous, artistic, and compulsively watchable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
