This is a short interview by End Justice For Art – about the new Einherjer video:
“I enjoy a lot Einherjer since the mid 90’s, so I felt deeply honored to be a part of their new release,” comments Chioreanu, exclusively for And Justice For Art. “The story is mainly based on the idea of ancient values which nowadays are lost or forgotten. The main character is the consciousness of somebody who realize this. This consciousness is walking around the dying world and discovers its decay. At one point, it finds some ancient magic beings still alive, and with some powers gathered from them, the consciousness becomes a warrior.”
Regarding to his visual and stylistic approach Costin adds: “NIDSTONG’s video is made, more or less, in the same style I am doing my animation videos. I think is already obviously that I am not looking into figurative type of movement, as I am more interested into atmosphere than to explain visually how a character is moving his hand and how natural is that.”
“Let’s say I am more influenced by ancient art, where figurative way of visual expression was not as interesting as finding the proper vibe of visuals in order to tell the story in the right way… There are several elements from Norse mythology appearing in this video, but all of them are presented as a part of THIS story, not as a copy-paste from the mythology books. So, they are re-interpreted a bit, and merged with the script and its purpose. I am not a fan of visual standardization which a lot of people/artists embrace it for few centuries already…”
“In the case of “NIDSTONG,” take it as an ancient story,” he concludes. “Every person will have a personal interpretation, which is something amazing, this makes things grow and keeps the magic alive.”
