The video for “White Tail” explores a surreal dreamscape where Heather lies beneath a full moon and a layered world of shifting landscapes unfolds. Unusual storm clouds drift over mountain peaks, while sand and soap bubbles transform into abstract planes of existence.
Created primarily through analog special effects techniques, the video combines a cloud tank, ripple machine, and macro cinematography to capture the movement and textures of water, sand, and soap. Real landscapes from the Oregon coast are juxtaposed with digitally captured environments from Google Earth, blurring the boundary between the physical world and imagined spaces.
