Last week, Toronto singer-songwriter Charlotte Cornfield released the new video for “June”, the opening track of her recently-released LP “The Shape of Your Name”. Directed by Kevin Drew and filmed by Joe Cornfield, the video was shot in the warehouse at Toronto’s Burdock where a piano had to be forklifted into the space.
Charlotte explains that the video, though filmed in one shot, needed several takes to work:
“As soon as the camera went around the piano, Kevin would yell ‘alright everyone, disappear’ and then they’d have to hurry up the stairs to the mezzanine…And two people had to stay down to throw the books on the floor.”
Starting today, Charlotte is on tour throughout Canada and the US until Mid-June. Here is the full list of dates:
