The Panturas Presents Action Scenes For Their Latest Single 'Jim Labrador' Music Video

Kapanlagi.com - One of the rising Indie bands with a surf rock genre, The Panturas, has just released a music video for their song Jim Labrador. Interestingly, the Jim Labrador music video features a series of talented young actors including Bio One, Mea Shahira, and Ravi Septrian.

Jim Labrador itself is one of the songs included in The Panturas' second studio album titled Ombak Banyu Asmara, released in 2021. The lyrics of this song are even more interesting because they depict the character of a thug named Jim Labrador.

1. Telling the Story of a Character Named Jim Labrador

Music video director Jim Labrador, Dwi Agung Pambudi, said that the story presented is the beginning of the backstory of the character Jim Labrador.

"Actually, this is Jim Labrador before becoming 'Jim Labrador'. That's why I wrote his name (the character's initial name) Nurodji," said Dwi during a press conference in Kemang, South Jakarta, on Thursday (22/6).

"Where is the background of Jim Labrador, why he became a Jim Labrador, why he became the tough character in his song, a very thuggish character," he continued.

2. Presenting Action Scenes

In the same occasion, The Panturas' bassist, Bagus Patria or commonly known as Bagus Gogon, confirmed that the character Jim Labrador is purely fictional. Through this character, The Panturas are simply trying to depict the life of a thug in Jakarta.

"Many people wonder who Jim Labrador is, where he comes from. I'm just portraying Jim Labrador as a thug who is very Jakarta," said Gogon.

The music video for "Jim Labrador" features bloody action scenes played by Bio One and Ravi Septrian, with visuals reminiscent of 1970s Mandarin action films. This is also the director's first experience in creating an action genre music video.

"The actors really embodied their characters, even their fights looked natural to me. And it was also my first time choreographing action scenes," he added.
