This week on Diamond Cast, we welcome a very special guest: Charlie from MindArt Visual, the visionary director behind both our Dark Anthems video and our upcoming video for Fall Into The Silence.

We take you deep behind the scenes—talking green screens, slow-motion syncing, performance tricks, and the creative challenges of making music videos that hit just as hard emotionally as they do visually.

From crafting intimacy on camera to the art of directing bands (and dealing with chaos), this episode is full of insight, stories, and a real appreciation for what it takes to turn sound into cinema.

Whether you're into music, filmmaking, or just want to know how the Fall Into The Silence video came to life—this one’s for you.
