The location shoot was completed in
a mere three days in July 2014. "It's always
a challenge trying to achieve a lot on a tight
schedule," says Ryan. "This was the first
time we'd ever shot in Ukraine. The local
crew was great - they worked so hard and
never complained. There was also a great

found in Kiev, and we didn't have far to

"From a production-design standpoint, not much extra needed to be done to
the chosen locations," Ryan adds. "Daniel
and Matthew tend to be very thorough
with their location searches. Kiev has an
amazing sense of architecture that, as
outsiders, you see in a different way. We
never had any problems finding a good
place to shoot. Everything was set in
daytime, and the lighting was very basic
and very fast."
Though the production had a
modest lighting truck filled with equipment
while on location, Ryan found there was
little need for additional lighting in most
scenes. "The majority [of the music video]
was just shot with available light," the cinematographer says. One key exception, he

To lift the ambience and keep the windows
from blowing out, we bounced some 6K
HMIs off the ceilings and off Ultrabounce
textiles."
Throughout the shoot, Ryan says he
