UVA was commissioned by Warp Films to create our first live-action music video, for the new Battles single, "Tonto". We created a unique LED installation in a disused Welsh slate mine - an audio synchronised field of light contrasting with the rugged terrain. The video consists of our documentation of the band's marathon 11 hour performance, as well as a series of time lapse pieces from the surrounding geography. The cover artwork for the single is also taken from the shoot, and was art directed by UVA.

Love this song and video soooooooo much. Description should say "surrounding geology", not "geography" though.
