Known for his work with Bad Bunny, Lil Nas X, and Rosalia, STAYSTILLZ is one of the most in-demand video directors in the game.
Omar Apollo sent Stillz his song “Invincible,” and the two of them came up with a trippy, hallucinatory video that follows two characters entering an otherworldly afterlife after a drug overdose.
“We shot on a smaller format film—16—so it could be more grainy and grittier. Later, with all this afterlife stuff, we shot on super clean film, and we really pushed the saturation and made it really colorful. Andrés Gudiño is the artist [who made the masks]. Omar was the one who showed him to me. He makes these crazy sculptures of huge heads. He was just like, “Let’s do something with this.
“Nas had sent the idea, and it was genius. What I like about him is that he has a really clear vision, and he’s not afraid to take risks and do crazy things. He’s just amazing. We wanted to capture everything from a cinematic point of view, and make sure it felt like you’re watching a movie. The whole church thing and everything, those were his ideas. I think my job was just to tell the story the best way possible.
“This was shot over the span of three or four months. We started to think about puppets, and that’s when the idea of a-inspired monster came. I had been watching a lot of Spike Jonze movies. I like those heartbreaking stories that don’t have a happy ending. At least commercially, there’s a lot of things that have to end happily. I like the ones that don’t.
“I was super nervous. ‘Vete’ was honestly a mixture of what the song was saying and some references that we found in some photo books and from a photographer that I really love,. In my videos, there’s a lot of references from painters, and also from old movies and things that I like — then just random things that you hear of or see in real life, like when you go somewhere and you see something really strange, and you’re like, ‘Damn. This is weird as fuck, man.
