About the music video of Ghost in Caravan by Harold Lopez – Nussa
The music video of Fantasma en caravana (Ghost in Caravan), directed by Joseph Ros, gives promotion to this theme by the Cuban artist Harold Lopez-Nussa.
In the clip we find a series of strange beings, alike the one of the series Freak Show, like dwarves, deformed people, women with beard and other extravagant creatures. To achieve this, Joseph turned to professionals from the National Circus of Cuba. They taxed an amalgam of heterogeneous attractions, surrounded by the illusion or the mystery of a tent, where circus artists of different specialties like contortionists, acrobats or the classic fire eaters cannot be missed.
Very interesting is the characterization of the musicians that start the clip. That way Ros, proves to be a skilled director of art.
According to confession of the filmmaker, in Ghost in Caravan worked with total freedom since Lopez Nussa completely trusted in him and it did not impose him any agenda to follow. From the title a darkness was marked, but did not want to repeat the concept of the caravan that used in the clip of the group DCorazon.
Ghost in Caravan is a psychedelic, half-convoluted subject, where Harold uses the piano with synthesizer. The work was very rich at all times. By idea of Eme Alfonso I knew that as a child Ruy Adrian López Nussa played the piano very well. So the other two arms that appear on the piano of Harold we did not do it in postproduction, are those of his brother Ruy Adrian.
This was a music video filmed with little budget but very complex in its realization, which shows that the question is to make the most of available resources with the highest dose of creativity. As the director stated: “… jazz, like music, gives you tools to fly.”
