Internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Jann Klose<\/strong> has unveiled the official music video for his latest single, \u201cWhen I\u2019m With You,\u201d<\/strong> a joyful, synth-rock celebration of human connection. The video\u2014shot entirely using stop-motion cinematography<\/strong>\u2014was directed by Texas-born filmmaker Sam Casey<\/strong> and filmed on location throughout New York City<\/strong>, including iconic landmarks like Times Square<\/strong>, Lincoln Center<\/strong>, and the High Line<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visually captivating video is the product of over 2,000 photographs<\/strong>, taken in a whirlwind six-hour shoot. Each frame was carefully captured one step at a time\u2014echoing the lyricism and sentiment of the song itself. Jann\u2019s idea to incorporate the concept of a \u201cDaumenkino<\/strong>\u201d (flipbook in German) into the visual storytelling adds a personal and playful layer to the experience, blending innovation with heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had this idea of shooting a full-on stop motion music video in NYC and pitched it to Sam just days after we met,\u201d says Klose. \u201cHe loved it and jumped on board immediately. It was exhausting but exhilarating, and the result is beautiful. Along the way, we engaged with random fans on the street\u2014something that really reflects the soul of the song, \u2018When I\u2019m With You.\u2019<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director Sam Casey embraced the challenge of using stop motion in a city that never pauses<\/strong>: \u201cThis is the first project I\u2019ve done using stop-motion, and it was a blast. Jann\u2019s vision for the flipbook opening\u2014his \u2018daumenkino\u2019\u2014set the tone. Shooting in NYC with moving elements all around us while controlling just one or two subjects gave the video a surreal, dreamlike quality. You don\u2019t get multiple takes with stop motion, which makes each frame more intentional and alive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The single, co-written with Everett Bradley<\/strong> (Bon Jovi, Seal), is a vibrant and emotionally resonant anthem about intimacy, presence, and joy. Everett also co-produced and performed on the track, with production support from Marcus Dembinski<\/strong>, known for his work on Klose\u2019s previous single \u201cSurrender.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow it\u2019s an upbeat celebration with deep undertones of the human connection experience,\u201d says Bradley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dembinski adds: \u201cWe leaned into influences like 80s synth pop, Billy Joel, A-ha, and the B-52s, and paired them with Jann\u2019s powerhouse vocals and acoustic energy to craft a new sound for him\u2014one that\u2019s bold, bright, and honest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its one-of-a-kind stop-motion artistry, spontaneous New York moments, and heartfelt storytelling, the \u201cWhen I\u2019m With You\u201d music video is a vivid reminder that joy lives in the little things and connection is always just one step away.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
