Video Clip Focus: Transvaal Diamond Syndicate

Answered by: Christian Tryhorn

Song title: The River

Director: Kim Ferguson 

What's the concept behind the clip? Based on a true story, The River depicts a woman kidnapped by the local sheriff and sold down the river as a slave. The woman escapes and the sheriff gets his coup de grâce.

How long did it take to make? The clip took one week of planning, one day to make and one week of editing.

Where did you film it? Clip was filmed in and around Yandina, QLD, in a creek, in an old abandoned shack and on a farm on the Sunshine Coast.

What's your favourite part of the clip? The heroine exacting her revenge, of course! Some of those Harley riding scenes look pretty rad too, though.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? Current media and societal events definitely inspired wanting to stand up and make some noise while helping to raise awareness.

Will you be launching it? 9 Oct, Helm Bar, Surfers Paradise. We launched the clip and single nationally this week to tie in with a six-week national tour.
