Waiting For Sunday "The Love Is Gone"
The video's concept is based on surreal imagery involving abstractions of the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water). It follows the same individual through different stages of life (the young artist, the career-focussed early adulthood, middle-age, and senior), but leaves enough symbolic openness for the audience to draw their own meanings and interpretations from the visuals. The goal was to create something unique, powerful, and that would stand-out from other music videos, as well as creating a mood and atmosphere that compliments the song.
This project was accomplished on a meagre budget, being filmed and edited over a period of years. To accomplish the visuals with limited resources, many innovations were required, including building a fully functional and water-proof flooding office set in the director's backyard.
This video was a passion project for the director and the culmination of many years as a visual artist and filmmaker. Every step was taken to ensure the smallest details fit the vision in mind.

Colin Everall has been involved in the Vancouver, Canada Music & Film community for many years, having producer, director, and performer credits on a variety of projects. Previous works include music videos for Post Death Soundtrack's "Ultraviolence" (Producer), Waiting For Sunday's "Last Goodbye" (Producer & Director), and Waiting For Sunday's latest album, The Windsor Effect (2015) (Producer & Mixer).
This project has been the greatest learning experience of my career to date, and the work I am the most proud of. It is my homage to the aesthetics and style of the '90s music videos that I grew up with - ripe with all the symbolic ambiguities and frenetic editing and effects - and that originally inspired me to pursue filmmaking and music. I hope it connects with the audience the same way that those videos connected with me.
