This weeks Music Video of the Week spotlight goes on “Nachtschicht” by 01099 and Ikkimel – a surreal odyssey by directors @lea.baintner and @laura__russ, and produced by the sharp-eyed team at @silkrock.
Leaning into the absurdity and weight of the human condition, this piece blends narrative ambiguity with strong visual intuition – the kind of work that invites interpretation, not instruction. The post-production by @artefakt.mov was elevated through a thoughtful integration of AI and VFX, not as gimmicks, but as tools to deepen the tone and texture.
It’s a reminder that music videos are still fertile ground for experimentation – and that meaning can emerge not just from story, but from sensation.
