Video Clip Focus: Joni In The Moon

Name: Joni Hogan

Artist/Band: Joni in the Moon

Song Title: War and Porn

Director: Poppy Van Orde-Granger

What’s the concept behind the clip? The clip is a visual metaphor of the emotional effects of western media. It centres around a weird 'media-worm' infiltrating and spewing out of my head in all kinds of different ways.

How long did it take to make? 12 hours shooting, post and animation was done on and off over a few months.

Where did you film it? We filmed it in-house at Huzzard Studios in Perth with Dave Le May on camera. 

What’s your favourite part of the clip? I love the last third of the song where things start to get hectic and the worms are spewing out of my mouth and eyes and going crazy all over the place.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? News media, mostly newspapers - we wanted to keep it clear and simple and let the music happen.

Will you be launching it? On 1 August we will launch the single and video live at Mojo's Bar in Fremantle, WA.
