Filming the video

X-NILO
"Mission"

Produced by Kurt Riemann
 Summer 2002

X-Nilo was recording their album at Surreal when Kurt came up with this stylish and enigmatic concept for their song, "Mission." The video was shot in the field adjacent the studio on an suitably overcast day. The band monitored the song and the video was shot from twenty different points of view with one camera. The idea was to shoot it guerrilla style with available technology - ladders, cameras strapped to ten-foot poles, out of car windows, you name it. The only thing Kurt didn't get to try was hanging the camera from a kite because it just wasn't windy enough. Sam Gray assisted on the shoot and Justin Freeman from Channel 2 news was on hand filming for an upcoming documentary on the Alaskan music scene.

"O Come, All Ye Faithful"


Produced by Kurt Riemann
December 2002

This is the first of several videos produced for the "Merry Christmas From Alaska" special on KTUU. The concept was to show how the song's message was still pertinent today despite the speed and interpersonal distance of the modern world. Using special effects software and a lot of ingenuity Kurt created this computer enhanced masterpiece that reveals more of the technological underpinnings of the song. This video is a good example of using a particular kind of on-screen subtext to bring out a message. The final video is very dense and colorful, and Kurt's favorite part is what happens when she sings "Glory to God. . ." in the second verse.
