Salute and Rina Sawayama are Saving Flowers

The new music video for Salute and Rina Sawayama's Saving Flowers, edited by Anchous, successfully mixes old and new styles. It captures the intense feel of 1980s videos but is updated with today’s music.

The main inspiration for Saving Flowers is the style of 1980s Japanese car commercials. This shows in the video’s quick cuts and repeating scenes, which keep the energy high from start to finish. Vintage graphic overlays and the intentional aging of footage are used to bring a sense of the past and add depth to the visuals against the modern song.

Editor Arsenii Pronkin’s work is noteworthy for its hyper intense cuts and loops that match the music's rhythm, keeping viewers engaged. This fast pace is intentional to keep the audience involved in the video's vibrant scenes.
