Jazzanova, Soon

In the music video for Jazzanova's single "Soon" the sun shines into the camera in each shot and in between "places and spaces" in Berlin, moving cut for cut along its arc from sunrise to sunset.

The sun was positioned carefully in camera with the aid of a diagram on the preview monitor to ensure every angle of its trajectory was covered.

Weeks of early morning location preparation with sun calendar to position the sun at a specific place and time, were thwarted by grey clouds on the first day (of two) of shooting. Freestyle driving west we finally found the sun in Parchim.
