VCK turn into elderly men for Klein Wêreld video
Remember Van Coke Kartel's Dis ‘n Land video when they dressed up as tannies? Well they're stepping up their game for their next video release, Klein Wêreld. The band will completely transform themselves into elderly men with the help of Cosmesis Advanced Prosthetics.
The goal, says director Quinton Lavery, "Is that we want to put the band in an old age home, amongst real elderly people and for people not to know who they are.”
Cosmesis, a make-up and prosthetics effects studio who has worked on high profile projects such as Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, The Girl and Four Corners, has begun the transformation process using make-up and special effects.
The band went for full head casts and moulding on 8 March; that alone took two hours per band member.
Like you are buried alive
“The moulding was extremely scary,” says Wynand Myburgh. “You sit for 50 minutes while you can’t hear, see or move your mouth.” Jedd Kossew had to do his moulding in sections, because he says, “It feels like you are buried alive underground. It is really extreme.”
On the day of the shoot they will undergo 4-6 hours of onset make-up, hair and wardrobe to transform them into old men. This will be a little tricky with the bands new drummer Dylan, as he has some pretty long dreadlocks...
With three weeks of pre-production, over 12 hours of make-up and a full day of filming, this music video will truly be something to talk about.
The kykNET MVP music video for Klein Wêreld (As SA jou Wêreld is) is from VCK's latest album, Bloed, Sweet & Trane. The shoot will happen on Wednesday, 2 April.
