Luxembourg's Eurovision hopeful Tali recently filmed a unique piano-version music video for her song 'Fighter' on the Pont Adolphe, an iconic bridge in the heart of the capital, under the cover of night to dazzle fans and showcase the city's beauty.
At the end of January, Tali won the Luxembourg Song Contest and became the Grand Duchy's representative for the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö. Since then, the young singer's schedule has been quite busy with meetings, interviews, shootings, and overall preparation for the artistic contest.
Part of this process is to create an alternative version of her song 'Fighter'. All participants must do so for the Eurovision Song Contest, as requested by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). Tali decided to record a piano-focused version of the song, and the music video for this version was recently filmed on the Pont Adolphe in the capital, which was specially closed for the event.
Acting is something that Tali is quite experienced in, so glamming up in the middle of the night was not an entirely new experience for her. However, what was new was having a whole bridge closed specially for her. Tensions ran high as it was a so-called "one shot" video, meaning everything had to go according to plan due to the time constraints.
The shoot was no easy task for David Steichen, who piloted the drone used for much of the filming. Next to Tali, David had one of the most important roles during the shoot as he had to fly the drone with the added difficulty of the video being shot in the dark.
Simon Kelly, a piano store owner, was pleasantly surprised to find out that one of his pianos would be placed on a bridge in the middle of the night despite him being used to seeing his pianos installed in random locations from time to time.
The idea to shoot on the Pont Adolphe during the night came from Pitt Wagner, who states that the iconic Luxembourgish bridge would serve as an impressive location. especially with the right lighting in the dark.
The final music video will be released on the Eurovision Song Contest's official social media accounts in just a few weeks.
