Minimalism at its best! Filmmaker deconstructs SKYND - HEAVEN'S GATE

Heaven's Gate by Skynd - great song and very beautiful, minimalist video! But what about that product placement though? Is that even what it is?

You did SKYND? Never clicked so fast! Big fan since i saw Jim Jones about two or three years ago. Seen her live twice. She's also a fantastic live performer and vocalist.
Because you said "album" at the end: In a Q&A SKYND said she doesn't do albums. Every song is intended to stand alone and by itself.

[@manondereeper]

I didn't know about her not doing albums! Noted! Hope you enjoyed the video, for some reason this one is getting barely any views lol.

[@Andy_from_de]

@@manondereeper Never know whith the algorithm. Maybe it doesn't like the topics of Skynd songs. I also never get any in my recommendations

[@manondereeper]

@@Andy_from_de It's a bit mysterious sometimes, that's for sure!!

[@Andy_from_de]

I asked on the Skynd fan discord about the Nike shoes. Apparently, when they all committed suicide, they were all wearing the same particular model of Nike shoes.

[@manondereeper]

Thanks for asking! That's so interesting, I just googled it and found an article about it on Vice. That's so crazy, and weirdly specific.

[@Andy_from_de]

@@manondereeper Yup. And there is no coincidence when it comes even to the smallest details in a Skynd video. Everything is somehow relevant to the case.

[@manondereeper]

@@Andy_from_de I'm really glad, because it seemed like such glaring sort of product placement otherwise, haha! But it's really cool how narratively relevant it was, again, very smartly done.

[@BrutalMiller1]

All the same Nikes. Also Nike was Marshall "doe's" favorite brand, so much so that his slogan was a rip off of Nike's "Just do it" He made it "Just Doe it".
Also after the incident happened, Nike almost immediately discontinued the shoe model, but even after that to this day the shoe goes for THOUSANDS on ebay.

@@BrutalMiller1 Wow. Wild.
