Still from CozyLand's music video for the song "Warltz", which is directed by Miyaryo. Lighting director: Andy(And film) and cinematographer: Mizuki Tsuji. The still focuses on one the guitar that gets played, but with an effect where several frames are overlapping that creates a sort of delay (probably RGB split), which gives a bit of a psychedelic effect. The still is not in focus to show an insight of the movement in the music video.
