What’s the best music video you’ve seen recently and why?

Honestly,  Sabrina Carpenter - Manchild, I loved it. It’s such an original video that blends humour, cinematic visuals, and social commentary in a really clever way.

Visually, it feels like a surreal road movie. Carpenter travels through desert landscapes dressed in bold outfits, encountering different “manchildren” immature men who literally turn into animals like a killer whale, a rooster, or a smoking squirrel. It’s a clear nod to the myth of Circe, where men are transformed into creatures as a reflection of their behaviour.

What I liked the most is how she pokes fun at certain male stereotypes in a playful, tongue-in-cheek way. The lyrics are witty and catchy, with lines like “Why so sexy if so dumb?” that really capture the essence of the song. On top of that, the direction is super polished, with references to Tarantino films, Thelma & Louise, and a splash of country-pop aesthetic.

All in all, I think it’s a music video that perfectly mixes critique with style and a fun summer vibe. Carpenter shines not just as a singer, but as a visual storyteller and performer. A little pop gem, for sure.

What’s the first music video you remember being impressed by?

Definitely Michael Jackson - Thriller. It felt more like a short film than a music video, almost 14 minutes long, with a full storyline, dialogue, and horror movie aesthetics. 

Directed by John Landis, it brought real cinematic language to the music world: dramatic lighting, special effects, costumes, and one of the most iconic choreographies of all time. 

It completely changed the way music videos were made. It wasn’t just music, it was pure cinema.

And what’s your all-time favourite music video?

One of my all-time favourites has to be the short film Baño María from Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso. It’s more than just a music video, it’s a raw, cinematic experience that captures the chaos of a wild night in Buenos Aires: parties, emotional crashes, gas stations, public bathrooms… all of it.

What I love is how seamlessly it blends music with storytelling. It’s not just visuals to go with the album, it feels like a visceral portrait of the mental state behind the songs. The aesthetic is gritty, nocturnal, and deeply authentic, with moments that feel trippy and others that hit you emotionally.

It strikes that perfect balance between wild and poetic. You finish watching it and feel like you lived that night with them. That’s why, for me, it’s one of the most powerful pieces of music-driven cinema in recent years.

What other directors/artists do you look to for inspiration?

I’m inspired by a mix of bold, visual storytellers like Quentin Tarantino, for his sharp dialogue and stylised chaos, every scene feels like a cinematic punch. Wes Anderson, for his obsessive visual control and emotional subtlety. Pantera, the Argentine collective, for their raw, urban honesty and the way they blend music with real, visceral storytelling. And Megaforce, for their surreal, unpredictable creativity, their videos always feel like a visual trip.

Each of them creates their own universe, and that’s what I find most inspiring: they break rules and turn their vision into something completely unique.

What are you listening to at the moment?

We’ve got pretty diverse taste, but some of the artists we’re really into right now are Sabrina Carpenter, Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso, KWN, Judeline, Ralphie Choo, and El Mala Mía.

It’s a mix of pop with attitude, experimental urban sounds, and artists who are doing their own thing without following the rules. From Sabrina’s playful sharpness to the raw energy of Ca7riel & Paco, or the dreamy textures of Ralphie and Judeline, everything we’re listening to has that mix of personality, style and emotion.

What’s your favourite bit of tech, whether for professional or personal use?

Probably the iPhone, because we use it for everything, taking reference photos, jotting down ideas on the go, editing, organising projects, listening to music, or watching visual references.

It’s like a portable creative extension: always with us, and it ends up being both a work tool and a personal space for inspiration, connection, and spontaneous creation.

What artist(s) would you most like to work with and why?

One artist we’d love to work with is Rosalia. She’s the full package, powerful, theatrical, and deeply creative. What inspires us most is her discipline and how much intention she puts behind everything she does, from the way she moves on stage to how she crafts her visual identity.

She’s fearless when it comes to blending genres, pushing boundaries, and owning her presence with unapologetic confidence. There’s a raw energy in her work, but also a refined artistic vision. Collaborating with her would mean diving into a world that’s bold, expressive, and constantly evolving, just the kind of space we love to create in.
