Chasing The Drums by Shapxo

"We had an extremely tiny budget and were shooting in a working subway station in Berlin, so we had to shoot at the time when trains leave so we have a clear frame of location, but when the trains arrived we had to face many people coming towards us, taking pictures, laughing or even being scared. Not every day do you see a bunch of people dressed in Rick Owens with blue painted faces on your way home. The production process took us around four hours max because we simply couldn’t afford to shoot there more."
