Video Clip Focus: Acolyte

More Acolyte Acolyte

Answered by: Morgan-Leigh Brown

Song title: Space And Time

Director: Gary Robertson (Jarrah Film) & Morgan-Leigh Brown

What's the concept behind the clip? The video and single for us is the continuation from our previous releases and closes the chapter on our album cycle. It skims the line between positive/negative, light/dark and all that's chaotically beautiful in between.

How long did it take to make? We were in pre-production for around three months prior to filming. All up, six months.

Where did you film it? Along the east coast of Australia. In deserts, rural regions, commercial theatre spaces, even underground. We saw and experienced so much this time around. We were ambitious. We like to push our own comfort zones.

What's your favourite part of the clip? The moving time-lapses of the sky were pretty special. When we were camera setting in the desert, it was 45+ degrees. The night provided a much needed change in temperature, plus you can actually see the curvature of the sky.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? Everything does. I literally almost become a heightened being in pre-production. All my senses are active.

Will you be launching it? We are currently touring across the east coast: 7 Oct, The Tote; 20 Oct, The Basement, Belconnen; 21 Oct, The Small Ballroom, Islington; 22 Oct, Frankie's Pizza By The Slice; 4 Nov, The Loft; 18 Nov, Evelyn Hotel.
