Metronomy's video for 'The Bay'

Metronomy’s official music video for ‘The Bay’ directed by David Wilson

The visuals for Metronomy ‘s “The Bay” video are sure to inspire any cinematographer—budding or established. Filmed in Torquay, Devon in England, the video uses an interesting approach to space and focal points.

Directed by David Wilson , “The Bay” sometimes gives the viewer an amazing sense of freedom and then confines their eyes to varied symmetric sections of the screen… meaning you may have to watch multiple times to see it all.

It was too hard to pick just four shots to feature for this piece as we normally do. There are so many beautiful shots that it seems more like a moving magazine photo shoot, sexy models and all.

Not only does the video pique interest in the English electronic band, but I can’t be the only one that wants to visit the beautiful town of Torquay after this! Metronomy ‘s third studio album, The English Riviera .
