“It was a privilege,” Tobias Timofeyev says. “When you perform in person, that’s one thing. Trying to imitate that with a Zoom concert or something is really tough, and it sometimes can set you up for failure in terms of expectations. I really liked that we were mostly dealing with a completely different medium, and really we embraced that this was a video that we were making, and that we could really do whatever we wanted [with it].”
