I’ve always wanted to make a Video Clip for one of the songs of my father, Carlos Meyer. The Erlkönig was one of the classical songs he interpreted that always touched me. The song was composed by Franz Schubert out of the poem "Der Erlkönig" (litteraly, “The Alder King”) written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
The poem, and later the song, of the Erlkönig is a classic of the German romantic period. But my concept tends to be more of a modern and “un- classical” one...
After making animations of the characters and some elements of the story. I projected them in woods and onto trees, filmed these scenes and edited them into a music video for the song.
The father and son.
