An employee at RPC has scooped the award for best music video at this year’s British Independent Film Festival for her single How Much Sadness Can You Swallow?
Maya Whatton, who goes by the name Maya Yenn when she’s performing her alt-pop music rather than working in the marketing department at RPC, collaborated with Taylor Wessing media exec James Langley to produce the award-winning music video with “no budget”.
“Shooting the video across Derbyshire, Cheshire and Crosby Beach in Liverpool took two months in total and it took a further 3 months for the post-production. All the VFX work was done by one guy!”, says Maya acknowledging Langley’s contribution to the visual effects.
The video follows a woman dressed in a fencing outfit as she charges through the English countryside in pursuit of a mysterious object that has crash-landed on earth. Whatton explains, “I had this image of a woman with a sword trying to fight an alien invasion where the aliens have some kind of psionic powers and can distort your reality or wipe your memories”.
