Stink Films is excited to announce that Douglas Bernardt has collaborated with three-time, Grammy award-winning artist Megan Thee Stallion yet again, having directed the newly-released music video for Megan’s single 'Hiss.'
The visually captivating music video serves as a sequel to 'Cobra' released in November of last year, which Douglas also directed. ‘Hiss’ features Megan's powerful alter-ego, Tina Snow, and conveys metamorphosis through symbolic set design and alignment with the powerful lyrics.
Symmetry is a key element in ‘Hiss’, emphasising the duality between Megan and Tina. This thematic divide is evident in a camera split effect of the pair, achieved through consciously crafted hair and makeup, cinematography and editing. The video also leans into VFX and technical camera work, such as a facing a mirrored room reflecting both of her personas back to the audience.
Douglas once again showcases his ability to seamlessly blend cultural nuances with striking storytelling. Douglas consulted with Shibari experts, inspired by Japanese pop culture, and referenced the cult anime film Perfect Blue, which explores the difference between persona and true self.
‘Hiss’ is the latest solo release from Megan through Hot Girl Productions – the artist’s independent music and entertainment entity
