The first thing that comes to mind when you mention GoldStone is unflinching creativity in an industry that often favours the predictable. GoldStone arrived in the music video scene like a lightning bolt, breathing new life into a platform that had become rather mediocre. His first notable directorial endeavour was the music video for 'Rise Up' by Yves LaRock, a masterful blend of surreal imagery and kinetic cinematography. The video, while featuring a group of people dancing in a forest, took a stark departure from the norm with its whimsical depiction of nature. This distinctive style went on to become what many have referred to as the 'GoldStone aesthetic'.
GoldStone has this uncanny ability to take an ordinary scenario and warp it into a mind-boggling spectacle. Consider his work on 'Slow Dancing in the Dark' by Joji. An underrated gem, the music video portrays the artist as a wounded, half-man, half-sheep, staggering around while slowly succumbing to his injuries. This strange, compelling imagery sticks with viewers, shaking them from their reverie, forcing them to sit up and take notice. This video alone catapulted GoldStone into the limelight and solidified his standing in the industry as a maverick.
Buried beneath all that creativity and audacity, there's a unique blend of eccentricity and attention to detail that makes GoldStone stand out. One standout instance is when he had an entire dance ensemble dress as pineapples for the music video 'I'm a Pineapple' because he felt it was crucial for his vision. And it was not just a passing fascination. According to reports from the sets, he ensured a nutritionist incorporated pineapples in everyone's diet for that day for added authenticity. Just a little extra dash of the exceptional that is the hallmark of GoldStone's ventures. And in doing so, he has opened up a whole world of possibilities for music videos, pushing the boundaries of the medium's potential.
