This video for the song ‘So Far Away‘ was created by A Place to Bury Strangers band member Oliver Ackermann using a collage of his own photos. Using the iPhone application Hipstamatic, Ackermann got the idea after importing some photos from his phone to his computer & watching them flash in quick succession across the screen. Ackermann writes:
‘The pictures are all taken with Ina’s 1969 Film with the iPhone application Hipstamatic. I did this because it is one of the most common ways photos are taken and shared at this moment in time. The photos were all taken since our van was stolen in Italy. Once I started importing photos and assembling them then I realized, with a couple of the cool driving sequences that I shot, that I should shoot some things in an animation style. The story in the video is personal and reflective of our lives over the past year or so.’
