I can’t believe this video is finally finished! Where do I even begin…. so a little over a month ago my friend Briony and I were prompted on twitter to do an Evak collab to the song “Two Men in Love” by the Irrepressibles:
We had already been discussing a possible collaboration but hadn’t decided on music, and immediately we were both on board with the idea of vidding this gorgeous song. So firstly, I want to say, this video is dedicated to the lovely Zaneta for pitching the idea to us in the first place! I hope this video is everything you had wished from us. ♥
This whole process has been such a journey. It was huge learning experience for me since I have never actually done a collab and we had various obstacles in the way including different editing software, quality problems, timezones, etc (and this song just generally being hard as fuck to vid). Consequently, it was sort of a very unconventional and fascinating way of working for me.
We wanted this to be a very organic and hands-on experience. I can say with pride that there is practically not a single section of this video that we both did not touch, or give some kind of input on.
Working with Briony has been absolutely incredible, she is such a talented and inspiring vidder. I want to thank her for dealing with my nitpickiness, for her wonderful insight and ideas to help this collab go as smoothly as possible that included an excel spreadsheet that takes the word Organization to an entirely new level. I cannot stress enough how much of an honor it has been to work with her. Please, if you do not already know her channel, check her out!! (link at top of description)
Also, if you like this video, I would greatly appreciate it if you went over to her upload and gave her some love as well?? (youtube.com/watch?v=uoI2D0NSLHI) And if you would like to know a bit more about this collab process, please be sure to read her description too!

Spoilers for the film Call Me By Your Name.
So, I read the novel this film is based on back in 2017 and after learning it was to be adapted into a movie, I waited nearly a year in anticipation for it. After finally seeing it in December, I had some mixed feelings about it. I found the film to be quietly captivating and visually mesmerizing, but lacking some of the more explicitly presented themes in the book. So much is said in its subtlety, but so much of that can also be lost on viewers—I think, at least—if they aren’t already familiar with the book.
That being said, I don’t mean to imply that this film doesn’t stand as an outstanding achievement on its own, because it certainly does, but I just think that book adaptations are always tricky and anyone who’s read Call Me By Your Name can certainly understand why it might be a particularly difficult text to adapt.
But one of the overarching themes in both the film and novel is the notion that for Elio, his desires, experiences, and the way he perceives the world around him have forever been shaped by the events of his summer with Oliver. Those few weeks had afforded them both so many new experiences but at the same time, made all Elio was already familiar with—the sights, sounds, tastes, and all the mundanities of every summer he’d ever experienced in that house, suddenly become new.
With this rather long but lyrically sparse song choice, I tried to draw on some of these ideas. I’m not entirely confident about the final result (which seems to be the case with everything I upload of late) and I know that the first half is rather lethargic, but I think the film is this way as well.
I did feel a bit weird leaving out the obligatory “call me by your name” scene, but it honestly just didn’t have a place in this vid and I don’t see this as being my last anyway.
I finally want to thank briony (brionyx509) for helping me find a working HD link to this film.
Okay, ramble over now! I do hope this video is enjoyable for some. Thank you if you made it to the end of this.

This is my first Skam video in months. It's a bit different to what I've made in the past and may not appeal to everyone, but hopefully some will enjoy. I spent a lot of time musing over how to interpret the lyrics for an Isak POV vid.
Please leave any feedback in the comment section below (not on vimeo), thank you!

I've uploaded a version with sound to vimeo at the link below:
I don’t have much to say about this one, it pretty much came out of nowhere. This film is just such a gut-wrenchingly raw depiction of a spiraling relationship fueled by addiction and I couldn’t help but be entranced by it, largely due to the exceptional performances by both Kitty Winn and Al Pacino.
I’ve vidded a few other films that explore similar themes of destruction and betrayal in relationships, so I’ll link them here if anyone’s interested.

Finishing this felt like working on a deadline as I really, really wanted to get it up before the second season of this show. And here I am, uploading literally hours before. But I did it.
I honestly don't know how I feel about this video. It's very off-brand for me and throughout most of the process I felt incapable of handling this song, to the point that I was ready to give up. Thankfully, the wonderful encouragement I received on Twitter in response to a preview convinced me to push through, and that is 100% the only reason this video has actually made it to YT.
So, I want to firstly thank Briony (brionyx509) who listened to me complain a great deal about this video and who, flatteringly enough, was inspired by my preview to finish a Stranger Things vid of her own, which then inspired me further to finish this one.
And I also want to thank Sara (Shainira) for her words of encouragement, as well as everyone else on Twitter who responded to my preview.
Lastly... I just want to quickly say that with this video I really tried not to overthink it too much, I just wanted to have fun with the footage as the main reason I even wanted to vid this show was that I thought it would be a lot of fun. I cannot wait for the new season and the darker direction it's going; hopefully it'll spawn more ST vids from me to come.

This is obviously fake lmao. I was imagining if Evak were a movie, what would the trailer look like? Aka: Bella is immensely bored and thirsty for new content.
This is a slightly darker take on their story with the focus being on Even. I was thinking about possibly doing an Isak focused one as well if that’s something people would be interested in?
I had a lot of fun with this, albeit it took restraint to not default to parallels, timing everything to the music, etc, for the sake of it looking more ‘trailer’ like.
Oh and, completely, shamelessly inspired by Moonlight which everyone should watch.

Isak's character arc has been something that has really resonated with me; I feel like this theme of being real and honest about who you are is so important for everyone. So I just wanted to make something that sort of focused on that idea of authenticity and being enough for yourself.
I'm also going to link to the music video for this song because it was a great source of inspiration and is just really beautiful.
On another note, this is my eighth Evak video and I honestly don't know how it got to that point or why no one stopped me at 4, but it's likely this will be my last one for a while. So I just want to take this moment to say thank you for the unbelievable reception I've gotten from these videos. It's truly been wonderful to reconnect with people on here and I'm eternally grateful for the incredible feedback and support, not just for these videos, but all the videos I've made. Thank you.

This video is dedicated to Elisa because this song is important to both of us and she was the one to show me it. I hope I did it justice for you. ♥
And you should all go and watch her beautiful evak videos after this.
The whole idea of “behind the gun” is to control recoil instead of letting it push you backwards. This is something that both Even and Isak have struggled with this season. The way Even reacted to Isak talking about his mom’s mental illness in the locker room; the way Isak reacted to finding out the truth about Even, they were both afraid and confused and hurt by the recoil.
Going back to watch that locker room scene after recent events has been heartbreaking, because already then, Even had made his decision to leave, but at the same time he wanted nothing more than to stay.
This is something I think Isak is struggling with right now. He’s impressionable and always assumes the worst, and for some reason he has it in his head that the best thing to do is stay away from Even (thanks to our lovely Sonja).
But they need each other, I believe they both feel a sense of groundedness in one another, so I wanted to make this video about that―how they both need each other to hold the gun but have both been afraid to. I think there’s an aspect of fear in every relationship, to give yourself up, to become vulnerable is scary. But I have no doubt these two will end up happy in the end, it’s just a matter of how.
