Music and space fanatics of the world, unite. Your wildest dreams may have just come true. Musician Kelvin Jones has released the official music video for his single "Call You Home," and it was shot in space.
The wind beneath this production's wings was Director Joe Connor, who set up two launches from the picturesque Snowdonia National Park in Wales. Two identical TVs, equipped with GoPros from different angles, were then launched into space. Though difficult to believe, no green screens or CGI were used during the course of filming the video.
"Yup, that really is a TV in space, for real. I created this video by sending a vintage Sony TV into orbit on a weather balloon provided by Sent Into Space, surrounded by cameras so as to capture this spectacular footage hovering above the Big Blue Marble itself," Connor states in the video description.
The vintage Sony TV sets landed in northern England, coincidentally hovering over Connor's hometown in Warrington, as may be viewed in the promotional video, before taking a 34-kilometer plunge back to the ground. One TV rose 99.997 percent above the Earth's atmosphere, a mere 0.003% below the Armstrong Limit, an altitude where atmospheric pressure drops to such low levels that water boils at the normal human temperature.
Jones is a pop singer-songwriter who hails from Stevenage, England. Early in 2014, he quickly gained a significant fanbase with a YouTube video of "Call You Home" that went viral and skyrocketed to hundreds of thousands of views in a short span of time.
"[Call You Home] could be mistaken for a really over the top confessional love song, if you miss the fact that the lyrics are an inner monologue of someone not able to vocalize them yet, rather than a bold vocalized statement to the object of the affection," Jones states in the video description of the song.
"I really want to get an album out but I'm not signed on to a label so it's pretty tough to get in a recording studio," he shares.
Things seem to be looking up for this budding musician as he is currently promoting "Call You Home" as a single and is set to perform in Hamburg, Germany on Sept. 26.
