Video Clip Focus: Inventions

Song title? Shadows

Director: Kit French

What’s the concept behind the clip? Key words were weird, dark, fun, and unique. The director was inspired by a White Stripes video with the stop-motion-style production, and we just took it to the next level to suit our music!

How long did it take to make? It was ten hours of shooting, and then another 40 hours of post-production.

Where did you film it? We filmed it at the Cyclorama/white room at Kindred Studios in Yarraville. All of it was in the same massive room. There was a delicious cafe downstairs too which kept us going.

What’s your favourite part of the clip? Obviously the confetti flying everywhere was the funnest part to film and looks great, but there’s a moment close to the end where the entire back lighting changes and the stop-motion drums solidify, which looks amazing together.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? Mostly just how much fun we were having: one kilogram of confetti is enough fun to inspire anyone I think.

Will you be launching it? 2 Oct, The Curtin. In WA, 8 Oct, Rosemount Hotel.
